Who betrayed Tripoli

I'm trying to imagine what will be the Italy-Libya chapter in the history books of Carlucci, that books are not communists. The protagonists, as is known, are the bloodthirsty Colonel Gaddafi, which binds us even closer to the Treaty of fraternal friendship (triumphantly ratified almost unanimously by Parliament, but four cats and a few mavericks radicals) are the insurgents, who two months are slaughtered by their former glory and worship leader, is a French president in elections that he immediately realized that it is more noticeable when you bomb, that NATO is an alliance entirely devoid of political vision at the moment.

And Italy. The first says that his boss does not intervene, not to disturb the Colonel. Then our planes fly as requested by NATO. But Defense Minister repeats in one piece, La Russa, "we do not bomb ever." Finally, it passes from Rome and an important U.S. Senator arrives at Palazzo Chigi.

And now the Italian government, with the pride of those who do not take it anymore to tolerate the bloodshed in Misurata, proclaims: "Bomb too." We look with sadness at the facts. First, throughout the democratic world that has spent decades doing business with Libya is not a religious or atheist, who has credibility and strength to mediate.

Someone will look back with nostalgia to the time when Pannella was fighting with the Arab League and against Gaddafi, to take away Saddam Hussein from Iraq. Someone will have hoped for a strong U.S. leadership, which have a president like Obama, Nobel Prize for Peace. It did not happen.

It is a world where you have to ask a favor of Berlusconi and you realize immediately that we are living in a world in which, long before having to rush to the aid of the rebels, they had to rush to the aid of migrants stopped at sea, and everyone knows what means: a cemetery in the Mediterranean.

North Africa for help well before measuring. This calling is cheaper than war. I am among those who want to rush to the aid of those who revolt against Gaddafi. I regret that happening now and in this way, and with the war as the only tool and after a long holiday celebrated while Gadhafi was already killing his people and earning his size.
