A hero shows what a nation lacks...
In a story you are unlikely to hear recounted in the main circles of news, the last seconds in the life of an Italian hostage in Iraq are breathless in their account of defiance in the face of tyranny.
Showing more courage and backbone in the face of tyranny than an entire nation on the Iberian peninsula, this man refused to be a victim, refused to bow to terror. His defiance should be remembered, his resolve championed, his dignity honored.
That we should all face death with near the courage... one man who embodies Roma Invicta.
