hundred years ago we decided to conquer Libya, seizing it from Turkey. Giolitti, unwilling to make war, but became convinced that the conquest of Libya by Italian interests was inevitable and gave in to pressure from right-wing settler. It was not an easy task because of the interest they had in the French, British, Germans, Russians and even Americans, like himself reminds Giolitti in his memoirs. This year we have celebrated the centenary of that company, he did say the mild Giovanni Pascoli: The Great Proletarian moved. Mussolini, however, before he expelled from the Socialist Party, supporters of that war, and then with Pietro Nenni began a series of demonstrations against the departure the military, becoming arrested.
We would not have celebrated the centenary of Libya, Gaddafi not to irritate his friend now and then because we Italians are convinced that we are for war only if we call it peace. And the Libyan company was certainly not peace.
with Libya would have to settle the matter in 1970 when the Libyan dictator, just a year after the conquest of power, seized all the goods to the 20,000 Italian residents still there and then expelled the Italians from the country, raising Oct. 7 each year, a national holiday, the day of vengeance against the Italians. Then we got his tail between his legs. On top of that suit us because of oil. They were no longer times of national pride or dignity. The tricolor enjoyed insults proletarians, hidden under a huge red cloth with a hammer and sickle on the Communist Party. The flag then exhibited the Liberals, who were between two and three percent, and MSI in their flame, which was between five and six per cent. Which Italy might have to pay his guapperia Gaddafi? Never mind.
Since then, all Italian governments have made a good race to keep the Libyan dictator and failed even to good taste, to kiss up to Berlusconi, in all incontinent, and indecorous Gaddafi's carnival in Rome. Insults that can never be worth all the riches of the world. It 's the historical nemesis: once paraded through the streets of Rome won the foreign leaders and chained behind his chariot of triumph and in more recent times we sang against Judah and against gold. Patience!
But while we are truly convinced that democracy, peace, and freedom are values \u200b\u200bthat come before anything else - but when we finish to serve our sins? - So do not think the other, the usual American, English and French, who have now got their hands on Libya. Always in the name - for charity! - Democracy, freedom and peace.
Reasoning as Hegel taught. Thesis: a people oppressed rebels voluntarily and fight for freedom against a tyrant who used the weapons to defend its power and destroy his people, combating insurgents in the blood of thousands, which makes the salvation army to intervene. Antithesis: foreign powers involved in disorders causing a sovereign country, triggering the reaction of its legitimate Government, whose reaction triggers related to the intervention of foreign powers involved as the salvation army. How are things? At any rate, Italy, that every thing should be on the Libyan front line, it has been for a century, albeit in a variety of methods, is now relegated to the fifth line, behind France, England, Member U.S. and Canada. We hailed as a national success the fact that the center of military operations against Qaddafi is in Naples, while you continue to say that Italy is in the field. The propaganda does not deny, and sometimes it turns out lets you see the ugly reality.
relations between Italy and Libya were excellent, net of peasants and clowns. Libyan oil and gas for a number of our exports were one of the most safe for our economy. The Italian-Libyan friendship treaty Italy was the preferred partner of Libya. After this crisis in our relations with that country may not be as before. I'll see you passed over by France and England. Restore our historic enemies, now disguised as friends guise European but no less ravenous, treacherous and aggressive.
The Italian government had before him a path to be, act as a mediator with Gaddafi. But he could do? From the first time raised their voices others: Gaddafi must go. He did the mild Obama, Sarkozy has made the complex, he did the usual predator English, this time in the role of Cameron, excluding from the outset any attempt to intervene. Of course Obama, who was in difficulty of consensus in his country, Libya earn points from each other in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. Sarkozy and Cameron will have a part of the Libyan affair from the first floor. Unfortunately
Berlusconi, crippled as it is, had no authority to oppose the European partners and NATO with a different point of view of Italy. On this occasion his moral weakness proved to be of fundamental strategic importance. A prime minister in less targeted and less talked about outside the allies could have asked at least one attempt at mediation.
But not being able to do, then he ought to act as a clever and unscrupulous politician and stand in front of everyone in attacking Gaddafi. But he, after much ostentatious friendship with the dictator of Tripoli, not if it is felt, and the war is going to Libya as his personal drama. Unfortunately for Italy will be worse.
