certainly do not endorse and condemn the behavior of the Libyan leader Gaddafi.
The internal dissent, when born, is never born by chance and is the result of anti-people policies and enforcement that have nothing to do with democratic processes.
Fa species, however, the behavior of the West towards the ten-year "Libyan colonel." To protect the interests of "armed banks", Finmeccanica (supplier of weapons to Libya for a long time), ENI (for oil), corporate agriculture, African uranium international interests, the support to the concentration camps in Libya for so-called illegal immigrants, the Italian government and others, accepted and supported policies liberticide against the Libyan people, right up to the sad kiss of our Prime Minister Berlusconi recently.
For many years it was kept quiet, tolerated, supported, for low-interest commercial market.
At this point, when economic interests are in trouble, jump out of the "humanitarian intervention" and the UN Security Council declared itself in favor of the no-fly zone on Libya and the authorization to use by unspecified means to prevent violence against civilians. In other words, has authorized the war.
The pale and insignificant to date Ban Ki Moon, the UN became president only because of its good offices with the U.S. and its low profile, it is exalted to define the historic resolution 1973, as it establishes the principle international protection of the civilian population.
This principle applies to alternating current. There seem to recall is evoked when NATO bombers are massacres of civilians in Afghanistan. Just as much diligence was not effective when the Israeli air force F16 shaved to the ground in Lebanon or Gaza, killing thousands of innocent civilians. Even there was a UN intervention in Iraq when he made up everything to put their hands on Iraqi oil, killing (also because of Italy) tens of thousands of civilians. Blair himself has confirmed this.
What is happening generates, in fact, a previous well dangerous. On justly as countries like Russia, China, Brazil, India and Germany have expressed more than a reserve. That is limited to abstention, however, that in fact free to leave those countries that have decided to bomb Tripoli and replace with Gaddafi factions hostile to him for a cynical geopolitical calculation and expediency. Let it be clear to all that human rights and the just aspirations of young people to democracy and free themselves from the Libyan regime does not nothing to do with the decision of Paris and London, followed closely by increasingly disappointing Obama, to enable the military intervention.
Who will decide which future violence against civilians are acceptable or not will always and only superpower military and imperialist West. It will do so with the support of the global information system that is necessary to select who and how it will bomb, who may or may not remain in power.
Who determines, in fact, that you decide to bomb Libya, and Saudi Arabia are allowed to send troops to quell the protests in neighboring Baherein, while leaving the president dictator of thirty-two years of Yemen, Abdullah Saleh, to shoot days on the crowd (causing a huge number of victims) who is crying out for some time and resign? It is the paradox that the petromonarchia of Qatar, which is also involved in suppressing protests Baherein with his army, at the same time has announced that it will send its fighters for democracy in Libya.
This shows just how in the Libyan case has now attempted to intervene militarily to geopolitical interests.
What is in fact the political rationality of this choice? Simple.
As always, what moves the armies are not the humanitarian intentions, but very different reasons and motivations. Follow the oil, gas and dollars and you will find the answer.
As for France and its frenzy to take a hand is followed, in addition to the path of oil, the uranium that fuels its nuclear plants and those that sell to the world.
We hope that the unilateral ceasefire declared by the Libyan government, it is true, and this may leave some time to try to avoid the tragedy of war in the Mediterranean. We fear a little harsh. It will be tried in any way an excuse for the attack, however, now that a semblance of international legitimacy has been given the unfortunate resolution 1973.
The UN, which should prevent conflicts between States, in this case has passed a decision that could potentially widen and spread the war. A decision then is historical, but stupidity. Stupidity which, of course, does not escape the Italian government, ready to give men and means the company bases. In good company of the Democratic Party - indeed already in the first row in the humanitarian wars of the past - which openly supports that choice and in the company is also the President of the Puglia Vendola (this saddens us very much) that opens to the military and the No Fly Zone in Libya, but would like to prevent from entering into a quagmire. I honestly do not understand how you can do when it intervenes militarily and bombing anything can happen. Perhaps Vendola refers to actions such as in Afghanistan or as smart bombs in Serbia? What is certain is that while SEL is queued, with wisdom, the war party line Atlantic. This time between the real Obama and the white is a great tune. O IDV (Di Pietro) that in spite of the Constitution shall not and does not take a stand against war and government.
In summary we are at war with Libya. Once again, scarring in the Italian Constitution (and we can not accept it since a few days ago we took to the streets in his defense) and once again moved only by sinister interests. We have no interest and we do not kiss anyone: our only compass is peace. Peace is built through cooperation, with the processes of international solidarity.
If there are still openings to prevent The worst should be used and shake until the end. Now serves as a mobilization of the people of peace to stop the war machine is warming up its engines. Serve immediately get off the streets against the war and to demand that Italy remains out of this new adventure and wretched war. We will be there.
