Obama's response to Faenza

Dear Roberto Faenza, I read with great interest your letter sent to the front page of the newspaper Done May 4 President Obama. She wrote it without being in Pakistan and I say without being in Washington because we are both great travelers, connoisseurs of both countries and - I assume - with the same feelings towards the United States and its president.

I know a habit of Obama responds to points memo to its employees, in order to avoid emotional involvement. I will try to imitate him. 1) "The first thing that leaps to the eyes to those of these things is meant is that if you wanted to really capture and kill the leader of al Qaeda would have been feasible," she writes.

Here perhaps there is a divergence of experiences. I have never participated in a catch. She is a famous director and it is easy to imagine where to put the camera, lights and the extraordinary authenticator which is the sound engineer. But, as you know, the bandit Giuliano us forward even in Italy, birthplace of the great cinema, we had difficulty with the real facts, real corpses and real killers, and we went on like this until Aldo Moro.

Mauro De Mauro has disappeared in the darkness just as it was part of the film by Francesco Rosi and the entire crew was ready. Let me say on behalf of Obama which may occur in some circumstances a 'risky, to go with a project and return with another. 2) You, Faenza, the president says Obama: "I will not tell you how many times the intelligence he lied to the presidents and the public.

Enough to remember Watergate or the risk of a third world war at the time of the Bay of Pigs. " Let me clarify. The Watergate is one of the great successes of American justice that we, in the era of Berlusconi, and regret we can dream. Throughout the investigation into the misdeeds of President Nixon, the president has been constantly lying, and the relentless prosecutors, although appointed by the executive (ie the Minister of Justice of the President) have never let go, never continued their investigations, so far as to indict the justice minister who had appointed just before getting to Nixon.

Everything has been revealed in the Watergate and we can only hope that in Italy there is a day like that. As for the Bay of Pigs, in his text there is an exchange of events. The event that has endangered the peace - saved from Kennedy - it was Khrushchev's decision to carry nuclear warheads in Cuba, 90 miles from U.S.

shores. In the first case (Bay of Pigs) it was an unlawful act against Fidel Castro organized by fire when Kennedy and Nixon was president recently. The character that ended the attack by preventing any U.S. military coverage and making it possible for Cubans to capture the invaders, was Arthur Schlessinger, the historian, then political advisor to John Kennedy.

The missile crisis ends with peace, not war. Kennedy has prevented its general arming of American nuclear warheads in retaliation against the approach of the Russian ships. And he persuaded Khrushchev to stop his ship in exchange for the dismantling of a U.S. base in Turkey. It was one of the examples in the history of the world on how to avoid a war opponent save face and never treat it as an enemy.

3) The failure of burial Osama say that we know nothing, if not the reasons for the strange conclusion. The motivation is to prevent the birth of a sacred place, a symbol of control. Sorry unfounded? That symbols are powerful and can mobilize the oceans of the crowd shows an event during the beatification of John Paul II: the vial of blood taken from the clinical material of a Roman hospital was presented to the crowd as a relic.

But failure to return to the funeral, I want to reassure her that unlike in Italy, secrets do not last long, the United States. There is always a soldier who risks prison for making public documents impossible. She says: "The scenes of joy in the streets cheering American sounds ominous." Perhaps it is useful to recall the image of airplanes full of passengers and thrown against the towers of New York, where in three thousand people lost their lives in the most appalling way, that is - many of them - look forward to certain death.

Remember the bodies flying in the air for several seconds, looking mad a flight? But I think what he wrote today (May 5) at the New York Times Robert Klitzman, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University and the brother of Lucy Klitzman, one of the victims: "When I saw the horror I asked 'why do you hate us so much? '.

Over time I managed to tell me that the power too great, the greed of companies who choose the life of everyone in the world, with the support we have given to the worst dictators in the past, including those just killed in North Africa, have helped to generate avalanches hatred. We are changing? If yes, innocent people like my sister Lucy no longer have to pay with his life.

" 4) You question "who will be hit next," imagining a timely and quick assassination of Gaddafi by the CIA to secure Berlusconi and his secrets. His conclusions are twofold. One is that Osama has been killed because he "could talk" about his relationship with the Americans. It is a bit 'strange, to say that unless the Americans have done everything ourselves, including deaths and the Twin Towers? The other is to imagine that Obama and Berlusconi are the same type people, people with ugly secrets to hide, if necessary, with the help of the CIA.

Here's something I would not do. Never forget that a crowd of deputies and senators Italians have flocked to the long-bond rate with Gadhafi, right, left, and none of them ever said, even now, want to erase. Does anyone remember who remained outside (outside voting no) only radicals of the Democratic Party and a few others.

We may add that the vote of the willing homage and glory to Gaddafi also received invitations, awards, honors, with solemn ceremony in Tripoli. And now they fight on the parliamentary motion that will make the best figure in the war to Italy. No, not bringing the two worlds incommunicable.
