Obama, Bin Laden and the barbarity of the XXI century

Many things are unclear, and will remain so for a long time, U.S. special forces in the attack which led to the liquidation of the grand old man of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, Osama Bin Laden. Neither is sure that Bin Laden was actually made out and we believe "trust" to the statements of Obama, who, in obvious crisis of consensus for the management of disappointing economic and financial crisis and the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Libya has played the card of the abolition of the hated enemy, along with the equipment, such as the CIA and others, which appears more and more clearly subordinate.

Osama Bin Laden, after all, started as a scion of a wealthy Saudi family of builders and soon became a creature of the United States in the war the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, and only later decided to "go it alone" in the banner of Islamic fundamentalism, giving voice to the frustrations of high class professional Arab and Islamic tired of playing only the role of puppet of Washington.

It is striking that his physical settlement is after the political defeat, which is not achieved some of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, have reinforced the fact that, as the maturation of democratic politics of the Arab peoples that has so far had its greatest expression revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.

Before being physically deleted (assuming it was) by the Navy SEALs Bin Laden was then already a walking corpse from the political point of view: it can therefore think that he was eliminated when the United States they had made the maximum political profit, before as a crucial ally in the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, then as an enemy to bring together the forces of war and justifying the revival of the U.S.

hegemonic position in the world. Paradoxically, Bin Laden has been more useful to the U.S. in the second of these garments, and, in fact, was left alive until you have been useful enterprise engaged in his role as chief terrorist. Certainly will not cry any tears in his memory, especially considering the more than three thousand innocent victims of the Twin Towers.

But it is striking how completely barbaric when it was deleted if it is him, in which case you probably also wanted to silence forever a witness potentially very inconvenient for the Empire. As well as affecting the obscene jubilation that took place in the United States, which represent the counterpart of the equally obscene, with which the Arab and Islamic masses, in some cases, hailed the attack on the Twin Towers.

Backlash of Islamic terrorism are always possible, but it is however clear that fundamentalism has ended his political parable. It 's time and then to dismantle the apparatus of death that silly still occupy Iraq and with the participation of Italian, Afghanistan and give a peaceful solution based on political negotiations, the Libyan crisis.

It 's time also that terrorism is finally abandoned as a political tool, even by the United States, however, as I mentioned on this blog, if they have also used recently as an alternative to suffocate the Cuban experience.
