The end of the middl

That's where we dell'amicone door policy, taking the arm of the party believe that a pat on the back and a joke are the way to successful foreign policy. Behind the Lula no extradition of the terrorist murderer Cesare Battisti is the story of a country and there are human stories of the now former Brazilian president and his successor Dilma Roussef: the result is a wrong decision and unacceptable, but in any way unexpected or surprising.


Yet when, in late June, Silvio Berlusconi made to Brazil on a mission with great fanfare - 60 entrepreneurs in tow, a turnover of 10 billion euro - the issue was not mentioned practically, as if the important thing between the two countries were the business and understanding of staff and Mr B Lula: "We immediately understood each other well from the beginning," assured the Knight, as if indeed he is one with the history of Brazil can be made "in the same way." The story Baptists remained in the background of the visit.

Then, Italian diplomacy said that Lula did not decide and would leave the response to Rousseff, a former guerrilla, who - ever wonder why - would have less qualms about extradition. And instead, we did not understand anything at all. Now, the government protests, calls into question the agreements and treaties concluded recently with no warranty, especially manifest anger and wonder why the Brazilian authorities expressed doubts about the reliability of Italian justice.

But who, day after day, pick the credibility of the judiciary? And who ridiculed the seriousness of republican institutions? And are we sure that certain things, risaputi abroad (via Wikileaks mica only) benefit of the country's image? Lula of Brazil is Italy from banana republic. In a game of stereotypes, is the world upside down.

But it is the fate that touches us, going around the world to the fairground barkers.
