politicians and interested observers, a little 'follow-up and a bit' well-going of their own, would like to pass the North African riots resulting in a coup d'etat as the desire for freedom and democracy in those nations. And 'as interesting as reading a foregone conclusion. Each other and are at different levels, the vast majority of people, admittedly. They are the ones that laziness utilitarian mental widening gap before yesterday and no later than tomorrow, a three days at most. An assessment that takes no account of the past and will not compromise on the future.
Once again, open our eyes to our political tradition is realistic, we unsurpassed masters, which invites us to look at history, that is the facts.
Those masses that are triggered in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya against the respective governments are probably not aware of that they do. The masses are bodies without heads, the head is elsewhere. The head has wisely moved some levers and buttons and some has set in motion the masses, who are shouting and demanding to improve living conditions, requested by the real needs and legitimate rights. They do shouting freedom and democracy, which are traditionally Western values, but today, even to guilt or the merits of globalization, have become universal.
But the head of the masses is Islam, a great culture, the same that he understood the Christian West and European best, but far better than the Westerners have failed to understand Islam. He understood, for example, that the Western model is winning those areas rather than geographical, human tradition of Islam, which Coca Cola is more tendency of dates and bananas, try the mini-skirt over burqa, that the conquest of the soft market and fashion is more effective than violent armed clashes . The reaction of the past twenty years of Islam in all its forms, demonstrates that it is waging a war against the West. This war goes through many ways: politics, terror, immigration, liberal and social revolution, coup d'etat.
Until a few years ago, before Obama, United States of America, struck home from this war - we remember the destruction of the Twin Towers in 2001 - prevailed the battle front. With Obama, although he could not help but continue the war in Afghanistan, took a different line more and more consistency between the ideological choice, democracy and freedom also export to those nations, and efficiency, dictated by fear to a final showdown that would have the characters of Armageddon.
Europe, however, much of the American accountancy, a little 'to do business, a little' for sincere Enlightenment ideology and a bit '- let us say - for fear, it is wide open, the Islamic invasion, to deny its Christian roots. To say it would mean a mass things in light of important political significance. On the other hand the European leaders have often unintentionally suggested a new tactic to Islamists: the war in the enemy's home. They do not tell our leaders that the European soldiers engaged the enemy in Afghanistan held in his house to bring preventing attacks at home? Now the Islamists have it brought the war closer to home, then, we bring it in house. The Islamist attack
Europe is unfolding in the beginning of this year focusing its down of those regimes several decades now functional to European policy of good neighborly fruitful, but penalizing Islamism. Islam wants more aggressive Islam sanction the oldest and flabby, what has been sold to Westerners and the coffers overflowing with money and valuables.
United States and Europe have responded to popular uprisings and the overthrow of regimes in such a manner as we said at the opening, interesting but predictable. But the situation is serious. Some European countries - Italy first and foremost - had with those regimes, which are falling one after the other, the vital economic interests, not to consider the catastrophe of the hundreds of thousands of refugees flooding into Italy and at this point, hopefully, also in other European countries. In short, seem to understand that freedom and democracy to these people, who acting handled by talking heads the enemy of the West, are worth more than our political and economic interests.
If so it would be serious, but at least there would be a comfort to have given a hand to those people to move towards modernity. Unfortunately, it does not. The story, not too old and far, gives us clear examples of involutions sensational.
In January 1979 the Shah Reza Pahlevi in \u200b\u200bIran had to give the square and leave his country. And the West did? He said the square sought freedom and democracy, and helped the Ayatollah Khomeini, lovingly hosted so far in France, to return and establish a theocratic regime of the most hard in the second half of the twentieth century, which still endures. The Shah had in recent years initiated a policy of modernizing reforms of the Western type. Politicians and European leaders at the time, Democrats doc, but said that the Iranian revolution was democratic, he wanted to get rid of a despot. Facts have proved the opposite, namely that the truth was that the Shah's modernizing process, while the square, although he never had knowledge that the fight for democracy and freedom, he decided to Islamist reaction.
It 's really what freedom and democracy in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya have called for the overthrow of existing regimes? We hope for them and for us. But hope sometimes it is the mask of fear and sometimes convenience. Remind needful est!
