burns Tripoli, the Libyan Parliament is on fire, the protesters are being bombarded by aviation and the dead number in the hundreds. With an amazing domino effect, the wind of North Africa is wiping out in a few days and dictatorship regimes in power for decades and sweeps away the remaining credibility of the Italian government, which has propped up Saddam and last autocracies.
We still see the warmth, pompous and triumphant, reserved only a few months ago to Gaddafi on a visit to Rome: Bedouin tent, amazons and Carosello Carabinieri, with the participation of about 130 horses and riders' weapon, two squadrons and a brass band. Perhaps inspired by a realpolitik 's business as cynical as naive, the ridiculous antics pulled in Italian foreign policy.
Today the farce ends in tragedy: on those images, and the incredible success of kissing Berlusconi and Libyan leader during the Arab League summit in Sirte, which extend the iron fist of repression of the regime, the bombs and rockets fired into the crowd. These are things that can happen by concluding treaties of friendship with a dictator: the story should be bringing this taught Italian.
authoritarianism and tyranny attract each other, confusing themselves with the nation and in an embrace mortale: non è la prima volta, non sarà l’ultima. Restano ancora da chiarire molte cose, in questa corsa improvvisa, veloce e disperata del mondo arabo verso la libertà: per esempio, il ruolo strategico degli Stati Uniti e del loro Presidente Barack Obama (ricordiamo il suo discorso all’Islam, tenutosi nel 2009 proprio all’Università del Cairo, nel quale il futuro Nobel per la pace proponeva un “nuovo inizio” al mondo musulmano, affermando tra l’altro che “la libertà di religione è centrale per la possibilità dei popoli di vivere insieme”) o la parte giocata dal “sesto potere”, rappresentato da internet e dai social network , nel travolgere censorship and propaganda.
The only thing that seems really clear is the myopia of the Italian government, its inadequate policy and total lack of understanding of historical instances of a continent and a civilian population willing to die to shed his blood and to face the bullets with his bare hands of armies and mercenaries, but to get rid of dictators with which we, until recently, signs an agreement and exchanged jokes, including Berber horses and Arrows tricolor.
