Slipping into the bottomless abyss of war

Call things by their name is an essential condition for not cheat yourself and others. In Libya there is an ongoing war, a civil war with foreign intervention (see behind the scenes interview with Lucio Caracciolo). Resolution No 1973 of the Security Council, which authorized the no-fly zone military intervention to protect civilians, already had several questions of legitimacy in itself, since it characterized as a threat to international peace a situation of evident internal scope, in contrast with art.

2, para. 7 of the Charter of the United Nations. But the resolution in question was then violated by the same States that had promoted the adhesion, which, far from merely defending civilians, have intervened in the conflict on the side of either party. It is not that the civilians affected by the NATO bombing is worth less than impressed by the rockets of Gaddafi.

The only way out, as I wrote in this blog on April 12, is a ceasefire, the opening of humanitarian corridors and the beginning of political negotiations under the auspices of the regional authority, which is the Union Africa. In fact, however, goes in the opposite direction. Humanitarian organizations such as Emergency, must leave the country to foreign intervention intensifies and extends and is starting with the sending of "instructors" (also in Vietnam began so) to land on the other hand need to win a war that is not possible to win from the sky.

The war has a logic that escapes the policy and law. Napolitano is wrong. The Italian participation in this war, even with the bombs now, violates art. 11 of the Constitution, which sets out in clear and explicit repudiation of the war. Read the second part of this provision to circumvent this fundamental principle is impossible if you apply the basic criteria of legal logic and the logic in toto.

Moreover, the Resolution 1973 does not oblige Member States to intervene but merely to authorize intervention to defend civilians. Or obligation to intervene can be derived from Italy to NATO. It would therefore be wiser to refrain from participating in any way this war is also in view of Italy's colonial past.

Only the first day of the war has cost about one hundred million dollars. With the amount required to pay a month of the war, about a hundred million euro, could be paid four thousand teachers for one year (see Dinucci, in Il Manifesto of today April 28, 2011). But so, at the expense of taxpayers and of course the Libyan civilians who will be the collateral victims of surgical missiletti La Russa, Bersani and co., The Italian rulers will not hesitate to vent their ancestral vocation towards the subordination of others until a few weeks become servants of Gaddafi, Sarkozy today's servants, at least fifty years of faithful servants and foolish NATO and the United States.

In the face of the Constitution and the Italian people, which in its vast majority is opposed to this war. But of course no one asked his opinion, as this government is trying in every way to avoid acquiring it on key issues such as public water and nuclear ....
