Nato, tearing of Germany withdrew from the Mediterranean Marina

BERLIN - Germany's Clamorous tear Angela Merkel and Guido Westerwelle against the partners of NATO and the European Union in crisis Libyan Berlin tonight announced the withdrawal of a cold shower Bundesmarine, that the Navy Federal, the operations of the Atlantic Alliance in the Mediterranean. And some sources and observers, including even the choice comes down to the extreme, that is, the physical removal of heavy Bundesmarine two modern frigates, support ships and personnel of the German military in the Mediterranean.

It 's a decision in a political and diplomatic and geopolitical point of view can only rejoice dittarura of China and not with his support for the no-fly zone of the United Nations has sought to strengthen its offensive for control of raw materials Throughout Africa and its role as assertive superpower, and Russia's Putin calls "crusader" NATO pilots with their jet stopped in the Panzer Gaddafi's march to the city to massacre civilians and insurgents.

The "Nyet" to Soviet Union nearly Brezhnev Germany's center-right in the joint operations of NATO powers to enforce the no-fly zone in Libya, and save the civilians and the rebels then took more extreme forms. Since last week, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU, Christian Democratic) and the Vice-Chancellor and Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle (FDP, Liberal) had explained that their center-right coalition sees too much concern with the risks of the mission, and that not only abstained for that reason - along with China and Russia - to vote on a resolution on no-fly zone to the UN Security Council, but most would not have taken part French, British, American, Italian and other NATO countries against massacred the armies of Gaddafi.

"Now maybe someone will realize that we were right," said Westerwelle in substance, not without saccenza. The same attitude with which Sunday, after confirming the German non-participation in missions where the pilots Italian, British, French, Americans, Danes risked their lives, had advised the coalition countries "not to get bogged down in a long mission." "I am ashamed at the attitude of my country," he wrote yesterday in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the former chief of staff (German) NATO General Klaus Naumann.

Even harder was the former leader and former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer of the Greens in the same newspaper today: The German position is scandalous, the lack of solidarity with allies and with the Libyan civilian population is a ridiculous farce. Fischer government (1998-2005) decided in the name of human rights, the German military participation in NATO action in Bosnia and later in Kosovo to stop the massacres of troops of Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic.

Today the music has changed in Berlin. Entertainment sad autofinlandizzazione, appeasement toward those who like Beijing and Moscow supports dictators and does a roaring trade with Germany, especially in energy. Secluded from the political line of the allies, but only announced, without explanation articulated and reasoned.

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification that without decisive American Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of West Germany, without decades of Anglo-American military protection for Bonn, without the support of Bush senior (and the Polish revolution) would not be possible, a reunified Germany and assertive is given its own new standards.

He wants to be a world power when it asks for a permanent seat among the Great to the Security Council of United Nations (and says instead that Italy does not deserve it), wants to dictate to the whole European Union and eurozone criteria for cuts to the budgets Government and monetary stability, asking the whole Mediterranean Europe even more efforts against illegal immigration, mumbles and mumbles against a united Europe nessun'economia silence that profits more than the German European single market.

But when it is time to decide difficult and risky, you pull back, like a big Switzerland, a country that ends up not only count for much less than the United Kingdom and France but also Italy to Berlusconi. Sources Western European and Atlantic emphasize that the damage caused by the choices and Westerwelle Merkel's negotiating position, the image and credibility of Germany in the concert of democracies is more serious every day.
