The West is protecting himself

You just follow a few minutes to talk shows, seasoned political analysts, military experts and various ways, journalists who have followed on Saturday afternoon after reports that French Mirage had flown to Libya, to understand that ' Attack of the western countries had little or nothing to do with the protection of civilians affected by the fury of the dictator of Tripoli.

It speaks of the objective of France to assert his own primacy in the Mediterranean, the United States who, surprised by the advance operations given by Sarkozy, shortly after they launched 110 Tomahawk missiles from their ships to show that they are still having the staff of command, the interest of Britain to recall the positions lost in 1970 when Gaddafi expelled, in addition to 20 thousand Italians that were, in general, restaurant owners or shopkeepers, even the British oil companies, the need for Italy assume "an active part" in the attack and then have an equal entitlement to participate with others in the business of reconstruction (which is the new sport western destroy a country and then make money on the business that follow, as happened in Afghanistan and Iraq).

Libyan civilians were all forgotten. Every so often someone in a residue of shame, I nodded, but quickly passed over. The questions were more interesting. One scenario, however disgusting that reflected what was happening on the ground. A "no-fly zone", if it is legitimate, states that the fighters patrol the skies to prevent military aircraft of the country hit by this penalty will rise up in the air (which is what they have done so far correctly, our Tornado and that if we give credence to Berlusconi, and this time we want him to continue to do), not to be hit with missiles and ground transportation buildings nor military or paramilitary.

In Libya, a civil war is underway. On the one hand there is a dictator and the other block the vast majority of the population. On the one hand there is a dictator who not only aircraft and tanks but apparently still enjoys widespread support and, secondly, there is instead a part of the population who do not want to know more about him after 41 years of scheme .

No one has the authority and the right to decide how it is going to finish this game. It must be the verdict of the battlefield. And there is the suspicion, not unfounded, that on a certain popular discontent, especially in Cyrenaica, the agent provocateur is to be included Western, English and French, to fan the flames.

In the West, many intellectuals in good faith claim that the Libyan rioters should be supported "whatever" with guns, even at the risk of doing more civilian casualties than they have done and would make it the dictator of Tripoli, as Gaddafi is a dictator and dictators sooner or later, be swept away, by force and replace them with democracy.

A liberal who wants everyone to be liberal is a liberal is a fascist. A West that says that claims that all democratic countries they are not, at least to the outside, democratic system is a totalizing and totalitarian. That is no longer able even to conceive of the "other self", that there may be people who have stories, traditions, cultures, values, institutions other than his own.

Sorry to see this but democracies, after beating the Nazi-fascist and communist totalitarianism, are behaving more or less like the losers. Since 1990, that the collapse of the USSR, NATO, although with various masking, has strung together five wars of aggression: Iraq 1990, Serbia 1999, Afghanistan 2001, Iraq 2003, and now Libya.

So now that if you hesitate to entrust the command of the Libyan mission to the NATO base at Capodichino, as he would like Berlusconi, is because they fear the hostility not only of the galaxy Arab-Muslim, but the whole world. Why NATO from a defensive system, which was designed to its origins, has become synonymous with aggression.

This, in addition to foment Islamic fundamentalism, will push many countries, including Iran, to acquire of the atomic really not to be completely helpless in front of Western arrogance and pretensions. It is no coincidence that North Korea, where there is a comparison of the scheme such as that Gaddafi is a violet, is not touched.

Finally, in this crisis, the Italian left has given the scientific evidence to be stupid. In the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Defence League abstained on the vote that there had to be given to the Italian participation in the mission against Libya. He did not only mean the fear of an invasion of "migrants".

It's his historical position against NATO aggression. In 1999, while NATO was bombing Serbia, by 5500 civilian deaths (500 among the Albanians that he wanted to protect), some Members leaguers went to Belgrade to do the "human shields" to protest. And the League has always been very lukewarm or hostile to the mission in Afghanistan.

A resounding failure in a debate in which not decide the fate of "Sora Lella" but a key question might lead to a serious crisis in the majority and perhaps the downfall of the government. And what does the Democratic Party instead, the heir of a pacifism sometimes disgusting ("Better red than dead")? It is a sudden muscle improbable warrior, and runs to the rescue of the knight.

So, if you are so deficient, you deserve saeculorum Berlusconi in saecula. , March 23, 2011
