Gaddafi and the Crusades selective

At the university we study the problem of state legitimacy: when it can be considered legitimate? Answer: when it is based on citizens' consent. Then, a tyrannical state is illegitimate? Depends: even a tyrant can have consensus, democracy is not the only possible form of government, certain that if deported, killed, imprisoned, if in fact ruled by terror, then his rule is illegitimate.

Even then I happened to think of Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, all dictators with a strong popular support, and Stalin, who deported and instead killed millions of people. My professor would consider the first three legitimate governments, and the last unlawful. Now there's Gaddafi international intervention, and I've made me some ideas.

The West is protecting himself

You just follow a few minutes to talk shows, seasoned political analysts, military experts and various ways, journalists who have followed on Saturday afternoon after reports that French Mirage had flown to Libya, to understand that ' Attack of the western countries had little or nothing to do with the protection of civilians affected by the fury of the dictator of Tripoli.

It speaks of the objective of France to assert his own primacy in the Mediterranean, the United States who, surprised by the advance operations given by Sarkozy, shortly after they launched 110 Tomahawk missiles from their ships to show that they are still having the staff of command, the interest of Britain to recall the positions lost in 1970 when Gaddafi expelled, in addition to 20 thousand Italians that were, in general, restaurant owners or shopkeepers, even the British oil companies, the need for Italy assume "an active part" in the attack and then have an equal entitlement to participate with others in the business of reconstruction (which is the new sport western destroy a country and then make money on the business that follow, as happened in Afghanistan and Iraq).

The two friends

Wars are two. One is in the streets of Benghazi and Tripoli in the sky. The other is on the dock of the island of Lampedusa, where women and Italian men crazy chaos and loneliness of trying to push back desperate human beings who can not go anywhere else. Although the culprits are two. One is Colonel Gaddafi.

The other is those who have pretended that it was a normal head of state, with which they can and should have normal relations. But if Gaddafi is now considered by the United Nations and world opinion of guilty to murder his own people, because Berlusconi, who kissed his hand to the murderer in public in order to demonstrate that the association was full and unconditional, to the submission (with large public benefits and private) should get away and appear among the executioners of the free world? Yes, we noticed that he is cautious behind the door, and went out only once, "I'm sorry." He's sorry of the Treaty or the victims? However, Defense Minister La Russa fills the stage with gestures and words from commedia dell'arte.
