" Blessed is that country that needs heroes , "said Bertolt Brecht. Italy is blessed so little to celebrate as heroes also died in battle. Who knows he goes to war risk life and not just call the dispatch peacekeeping mission to avoid death. This is not to despise the life of the military, anything, we would not have to write any more deaths in Afghanistan, but it must withdraw immediately from that country. Nor do we "jackals" as claimed by the Russian defense minister because we want to end a war that is bleeding a country and also our troops. With Alpine died yesterday are 34 Italians killed in Afghanistan . And the gun battles, military operations in which our troops are involved increase and are expected to increase, as well as our commitment. Italy ha promesso di inviare nuovi soldati, entro la fine dell’anno saranno 4.000. Non si tratta solo di maggior impegno, ma anche di un ingaggio sempre più rischioso sul terreno. Dopo il ritiro delle truppe britanniche da Sangin l’Italia ha dovuto spingere i propri soldati sempre più verso la provincia di Helmand, roccaforte dei taleban, per coprire zone prima occupate dagli americani.
Ed è proprio in una di queste zone, il Gulistan, che è avvenuta l’imboscata di ieri.
Oggi è un giorno di lutto e noi rispettiamo il dolore delle famiglie, ma da domani bisogna impegnarsi per il ritiro immediato dall’Afghanistan. Non c’è much to reflect the conclusions to be drawn after nine years of war that have not resolved any problems to the Afghans. This obviously is not the goal of NATO so that the Italian Government maintains that we are in Afghanistan to protect our country from terrorism. Too bad that the U.S. president is to debunk Obama: I do not think the U.S. is safer, he said.
Obama meets with his generals to announce the date of the withdrawal from Afghanistan (2011) in Italy and the secretary of the Pd Bersani argues that "we do not act outside the context of our alliances' .
course the failure of the intervention in Afghanistan would mark a defeat for NATO in its first operation outside its borders. And we hope that this defeat - there is no chance of success - contributing to the disintegration of the Atlantic Alliance, which has no more raison d'etre after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In this desolate landscape Italian, Italy, where only the values \u200b\u200band the left no longer represented in parliament (Sel, CRP, etc.). Requesting the withdrawal, it is particularly deafening silence and the absence of any anti-war voice.
Yet on the eve of the war in Iraq hundreds di migliaia di pacifisti erano scesi in piazza per evitare la guerra basata su un falso pretesto. La «seconda potenza mondiale» tuttavia non era riuscita a far sì che la macchina da guerra messa in moto da Bush si fermasse. La guerra e l’occupazione dell’Iraq sono state disastrose, il movimento pacifista probabilmente ha interiorizzato quel senso di sconfitta ed è rimasto paralizzato per anni. Nemmeno l’ammissione da parte di Obama che quella guerra è stata persa ha risvegliato l’orgoglio dei pacifisti.
O sarà forse che nel frattempo quel che resta del pacifismo si è troppo istituzionalizzato per spingere i partiti della sinistra e scendere in piazza per chiedere la fine della guerra in Afghanistan? A peace movement, the Italian one, which since its inception in the early eighties he focused his attention on the Mediterranean and the Middle East convinced that this was the most explosive, it has now collapsed and the Middle East and Afghanistan are on fire.
Pacifists silent while a group of deputies and "intellectuals" bipartisan (including Saviano) express their solidarity with the Israeli government, which denies any rights to the Palestinians.
possible that there is not even an intellectual willing to spend the war in Afghanistan to save the Afghans, but also, the soldiers coalition, including Italians?
We do not want to withdraw from Afghanistan to leave the Afghans to their fate, we first direct support for the Afghan people with forms of cooperation in civil matters unrelated to military activities. The solution to the conflict must be through diplomatic processes that do not lead to a further tribalization of society, which penalizes again mainly women.
is also important to support the process of transnational justice for crimes committed by various warlords (some of which are in government), the Taliban, NATO and the U.S..
Truth and justice can be the basis for real reconciliation and the modernization of the country. Put the flags of peace to our windows, it will be a signal that we do not want heroes, but a commitment to build peace.
Starting from Afghanistan.
