Finmeccanica USA: the link between economic progress and war

At this time the market and the government praised the success of and approve Finmeccanica, which has managed to win the U.S. competition in the provision U.S. Army and Air Force aircraft first for the next year. A success, after a similar provision in 2005, due to the choice of betting on a market with " the defense budget highest in the world" as stated by the CEO of Finmeccanica. Within hours, news agencies register the protest of General military base in Vicenza, following the latest allegations of the motion No dal Molin .

The positive reactions of the market and the government and the negative command of the U.S. and President Prodi (who will travel tomorrow to the International Conference in Padua to prevent the protest movement) against the opposition to a war economy recall precisely supposed benefit of the Dal Molin "provide 20,000 jobs." The vicious circle of war costs and economic recovery and employment (think increase in GDP in the period of war ) is also confirmed in Italy, which does not escape the economic model of growth of GDP in the data that Italy, with the increasing costs of war (think of the financial 2006), and an increase in the export of war that brings our country in the world seventh place in the export of weapons, moving to ' eighth place overall military spending. This was announced by the 2007 SIPRI report on peace and armaments. Given this situation it is necessary yes a international Arms Trade Treaty , but also break the link between economic recovery, employment and arms, so that the costs of war should no longer be an excuse for increased prosperity of states which form a Outnumbered world, to the detriment of the countries affected by war. Because if an economic system to survive or grow epr requires perhaps necessary to destroy the model of growth of GDP as an advocate for the welfare of states and peoples is to be rethought in its foundations.

Aggressive Dog Jumping On Fence

smart with the district (RED)

There was a time when attacks on the judiciary were the gazette of Silvio Berlusconi, along with the specter of communism. Other times, now throughout the Union turns against judges, guilty of having widespread eavesdropping on climbing the political plots behind the Unipol Group and RCS - Corriere della Sera. Justice Minister Mastella does not exclude " sending inspectors" to protect "constitutional prerogatives of parliament " waiting to be launched in the new law on wiretapping. And once the agreement on the condemnation of interecettazioni is bipartisan: the center, far from further exploit the issue against the DS (the first interceptions were published by The Journal ) distanced from the publication of interceptions, also for the protection of members of parliament, since they are also under investigation parliamentary center.

emerges as a story made of subterfuge and conspiracy to steal banking groups and influential newspaper Il Corriere della Sera as for electoral purposes, they assume the foreground burattinieri D'Alema and Fassino, operators to pieces as Fiorani , Ricucci, Consort, promptly investigated and in some cases, finished well behind bars.

quote brings us back to '92, the notices of security, the corruption of the political system. And even if it is stressed, there are against criminal for politicians intercepted, this story is that, in the words of Lanfranco Turci, a "contribution to the wave of anti-" which clearly shows one thing: "the inability of the bipolar to manage this country.

EMERGENCY PARLIAMENTARY

Everything can be said of the Italian political class, but we do know. The savoir faire, the power to extricate himself when the lot becomes adverse. Bush's visit to Rome, blocked traffic. Even for a senator. But you know, if you are not granted the privilege, I'll take another. So Gustavo Selva, an old fox who said it told the big hill to legitimize the sending of Italian troops in Nasiriyah, in fact, sent only to the interests of ENI, pretends to be evil. Here comes the ambulance and run run to the study (private) cardiologist with the ambulance (public). And you see the connections: Nogaro being perhaps the cardiologist is not (by illness amnesia?) But there are television studios of La 7. Because if there is a record turnout to the Chambers but must appear in other classrooms, better TV, so it combines business with pleasure: the political commitment and sponsorship of their own. But there's more. The Gustav good, proud of the stratagem, he thinks that tell on live TV and there ... paratrac! The end of the world. "Shameful, irresponsible, unworthy, disgraceful, indefensible" ... and so on and so forth. And down bipartisan threats of criminal sanctions, resignation, early retirement. In short, the weekly gossip of politics, just for the partisan chatter from left to counter the mysterious depths of D'Alema in South America.

Moral of the story? The story of yet another abuse of power, arrogant ostentation of privilege behind plus those who could really, in case of emergency need quell'ambulanza, in a healthcare setting and slowly increase in costs, like the Italian one. But what more is silenced and readiness to cast the first stone, who enjoys the same privileges and abuses but the first stones at the latter's public admission. In a country where a politician has been the only politically correct the goodism that accompanies any abuse of the political class.

lot of smoke ... no fire: the G8 future of the environment and Degrowth

The summit of leaders of eight most industrialized countries, the G8, held in Germany last week, had as its first point OA. Dg a shared commitment comparisons of the climate crisis: the goal is to halve carbon emissions by 2050 to decrease of 2 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the earth. The summit, called in front of Benedict from 16 ° G. Bush " successful," he brought, similarly to what happened to the Kyoto Protocol, the non-availability stratunitense imposing a limit on greenhouse gas emissions. A successful summit rightly for the American president, who dismissed the climate issue, was able to focus on the issue missile defense with Russia.

However, despite the absence of agreement, a question arises on what the G8 intends to take. It speaks both to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, diversification of energy sources, solar, wind, nuclear, and the introduction agrofuels. The progressive reduction of fossil fuels and fortune, because of the economic model in force, made up of GDP growth and consumption, has already led, as well as environmental disasters, a state of more or less violent world conflict (eg, to cite two known cases iraqueno oil-exploitation and the threat to Putin on cutting gas). The solution is simply that you would like to find substitute sources of energy, some sources, but housed in the same economic system of endless consumption.

From this viewpoint, the G8 lose sight of the real cause and then address the real problems not only environmental, but also the stress state of the planet, or a system Growth which assigns to a minority percentage of the vast resources and penalizes the majority of the population, those who have the resources (eg Africa).

Then maybe after 300 years of development, an idea of \u200b\u200bproductive activity-based economic growth, which has united, even in their differences, liberalism and socialism, it's time to take stock and a forecast for the future. Thinking of contrast, the system of values \u200b\u200bbased on GDP growth for an alternative system, the decrease .

PIU 'ICE CREAM FOR ALL (Senators)! FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

Italy is the only country in which, as stated in "Otto e mezzo" some long ago, it was not possible to reach real agreements bipartisan not boundless nell'inciucio or transfer budget (if you smell defeat) of the pole. It is not true. The representatives of the people of the cartel know how to find all right: a chord that hits your stomach. And so, not at all oblivious to the television proclaims "there is no money, you need to cut taxes, close ...", the senators claim an inalienable right, the premium ice cream. And so or. Dg 7 went to the Senate on Thursday a bipartisan proposal , signed among others by Senator Buttiglione (UDC) and Soliani (Olive), male and female, to preserve the shares rose, for a " required to improve the quality of the Senate " is devoid of the refreshment stands ice cream. The document continues by invoking the adaptation of the life of the Senate "to normal stresses of everyday life," which, according to the inhabitants of the Senate, an ice cream if they do not miss ever. Even less if you aggratis .

Republic, which published the news , comments talking about the motion wishes related to the 'essence body and primordial power. " The complaint was not enough to save or "The cost of democracy", or "La Casta" Stella and Rizzo, nor the proposed bill on spending cuts of the Palace To resize the Bengodi.

Then cut size. What? "Provinces", "grants to party newspapers, " sauna and exercise bikes, "just because" rarely used ", and well parliamentary annuities ... but only for the younger generation the future. And the € 3000 a year to "study trips . Not to mention the record of absenteeism of MPs who do other work, and then receive other salaries, published lavoce.info .

course, it is clear that "rights acquired not touching" penalty " a sflilza of litigation," says Olive Albonetti. I mean cutting a few heads will save a little. Just to calm the waters a bit before the next televised debate. But it is not possible to make a law that calls into question the privileges acquired by those who enjoy the privileges, without shame, for decades. Law that will turn into a sop, behind those at the palace, perhaps taking a single salary for jobs of all kinds.

Italian politics is sinking into an abyss that will not be the electoral law, or motions dilapidated to save. The degeneration of Parliament, transformed, with its privileges and costs, in a farcical caricature of Italy, which struggles to survive, can only be curbed citizens, with the only weapon that allows democracy, voting. It 's why an increase in absenteeism in the upcoming vote will only be good for those who live and kicking at the back of others, only because of popular support.

Demonstration Of Deep Penetrations

The clashes took place yesterday in Moscow between the activists (including Members and Luxuria Cappato) who claimed the rights of homosexuals at '14th year anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Russia, considered by the Minister D'Alema " tolerated and allowed, reproduce the problem of the constant violation of human rights in Russia, already highlighted by the management of the conflict in Chechnya and the recent executions of journalists critical of the government's head of state Vladimir Putin. But going a little further back you can not remember the fury that involved judicial political opponents of Putin. And while a new law a new exercise control over NGOs, Amnesty International, in its Annual Report on Human Rights in 2007, chapter devoted to Russia, adding to the "black list" of former communist country and also discrimination against women the use of torture.

Despite the mobilization of Amnesty and the call of the European Parliament, criticism of Rusisa words likely to remain unanswered. To avert this outcome, the solution Minister Bonino " making energy, as already 'provided for a Community policy, complete with a majority vote,' cause that would make it more 'strong contractual relationship between the EU and Russia .''

Towards the end of the 2nd Republic? La Casta, anti-politics and the referendum

There are two terms that characterize the political landscape in recent weeks: "Caste" and "anti-politics". The "cast" as well show Stella and Rizzo in the essay of the same name, is the current political system, in its exposed waste, in its ability to sneak up on capillary in every area of \u200b\u200bpublic and private life, creating chairs, armchairs, organizations and associations, and autoriciclarsi, as exemplified by the "porcellum" electoral force, or the Democratic Party, only the sum of parties and personalities anachronistic, personal and above all politically. The output of caste then it can only be represented by personality to the "politics" do not belong or renewed, the "technical" to Montezemolo, the "young 50s rampant" to Sarkozy, who symbolizes a young leadership, and (apparently) unrelated to the interests of theater workshop (or caste) politics. Topics populist course, but that they breached an electorate like the Italian one, characterized by widespread impatience, exacerbated by the distance of their "Third Week" weekly dall'OdG Parliament. And the instrument out of this situation can only be seen in the referendum, the popular definition, which thins the "magnamagna" Palace to a two-party system. A modern democracy like France did a young government, in record time, made up of prominent figures, from membership regardless of party: the other side of the presidential system is a model to be taken into account. What is certain, as has been provided by Massimo D'Alema, is that we are heading to a crisis similar to the one that brought down the First Republic, the scenarios being painted by the revolution as provocative writer that, "Porta a Porta", it is hoped the advent of a single party or a dictatorship . How to get out by then Casta? With a new leadership? Entrusted to the "chameleon" (as defined Giuliano Ferrara) Casini (with its plans to "Third Pole" and "Great Centre" to Bayrou, the centrist candidate French), or a new "caste" of "technical" to Montezemolo (the amount of charge would blow up the conflict of interest), or young upwardly mobile type Veltroni? And the two-party referendum (with the barrier and 3-4% premium to the majority party with the most votes), eliminanerà small parties that affect the program of the governments will give more stability but might also be able to eliminate waste and the recommendation system?

The Untouchables

Those who thought that the change at the top of the CEI to bring a change of course on ethical issues is an illusion. Consistent with its age-old positions, Ruini's successor, Archbishop Bagnasco, no day passes without releasing any statements. Consistent with the doctrine of the Church is saying, not to say, as has been said the concert of May 1, that the Church has not evolved in 2000 years. The point that the lack of "evolution" of the Church is a direct consequence of its nature as a bearer of dogmas, absolute truths in the sense of the disjointed time. It should not surprise that the Church does not fit into society, quite different, as historical product, and those in which the original Christian message originated and spread, but can not even surprising that disputes do not agree to your message, as shown by Two recent cases of the concert on May 1 and the transmission of Year Zero Santoro. As for the concert, the statements by the presenter, as alien to the spirit of the event, were branded by the church hierarchy as "terrorism", a term that can only appear inappropriate in the context of an event at work, hit hard by terrorism in recent decades, the real one. "Terrorism" is to express an opinion "against those who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and love for man" as he wrote the Osservatore Romano on the matter. And today's declarations against say, Archbishop Bagnasco adds the alarm to the impoverishment of the Italian family. Meanwhile, political attempts to follow the bipartisan (Landolfi and Fassino) not to broadcast a video of the BBC on pedophilia clerical by Santoro and Mentone. These facts show the church to move in two opposite trends: the inability, or rather the unwillingness to respect the democratic rules, making it feel (rightfully) his voice, but also hindering the same freedom of expression that uses be used by others criticizing positions or behaviors. On the other hand, the constant reminder of the original Christian message, love for others, solidarity with the weakest. It 's a contradiction that is part of the Church as an institution, a power that took away from the Gospel message. So maybe the chance for the Church to overcome the crisis is that the afflicting anathematizing atheism, relativism, politics, or against opinions allowed in a democratic state, but return to its original vocation, love and solidarity. From solidarity to the people as such, the choice to live together is in some cases dictated by the poverty that Bagnasco notes. Or know how to put people before ideology.

THE PALACE AT WAR: Prince Harry and the media coverage of the war iraquena

is approaching departure for Iraq of Prince Harry, third in the royal succession to the throne of England. Among the news of delays to the threats of Al Qaeda, intent on capturing and show it as a "war trophy", the support of fellow soldiers who said they want to wear "red wig" in order to treat the identification and abduction, the pre-departure party, the British tabloids have collected a new chapter in the lucrative soap on the royal family. In addition, the prince will be included in its adventure iraquena dallla cameras, in a sort of Big Brother iraqueno, where to be appointed but they are only civilians in bombing raids.

Too bad the story of the prince who goes to war is far from a soap opera, but it fits very superficially in a context like that iraqueno, made up of thousands of civilian casualties, as well as military. The media coverage so the departure of the prince neglects to consider the everyday iraquena, made up of dozens of deaths and destruction, as daily life is far from being a scoop a news to sell. In addition, the scruples for the safety of the prince, and his presence in Iraq can only increase insecurity and danger to an army torturer and victim of a conflict-sac.

The Royal Family chooses so to get going against public opinion, whose opposition to the growing conflict iraqueno venture led to the resignation of Tony Blair.

But the worst aspect of the story that goes from the palace of the prince to war "to serve their country" with all the vagaries of contour gifts (or parts or leave the army, "said Harry), is that the media attention on Iraq has now reached the frivolous tone that characterize the events gifts. The final piece of a conflict right from the start, by the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad was taken flash of a great television commercial, aimed at selling a war based on economic and geostrategic interests. And like all the commercials, this one has been able to sell smoke, but to a country that is on fire every day.

FAMILY DAY: AND THE FAMILY?

A few days Family Day, an event organized by the Roman Church Association "against any suggestion of legislative equality of unmarried couples with the family based on marriage," is wasting the confirmation of participation of the political world, who got to do so with the "traditional" family to have more of 'one. For every action a reaction: it beside the Don Abbondio of the situation, both clerical and political calculation, the "moderates" who forget that the "center" is relative to what it takes to end, here are the handful of contromanifestanti "NO VAT". Between clericalism and secularism, pro-family man man man woman child and family are almost all children, with one absent: the family. Why Family Day to the real family, one affected by the syndrome of "Third week" stay at home, away from ideology alien to their real needs, that the pull into play mostly for instrumental purposes. between the two litigants in the Family day the only one not enjoying it is the protagonist, the family, poised between slices of promises " hoards" of the sconticini first house, he sees far from their priorities the allocation of "traditional family" of "unmarried couple" or I say. The Family Day wants to say as "the priority is not the policies but DiCo the family "perhaps forgetting that DiCo allocate tax relief for couples, but perhaps here more than the" family policies "are questioning the definition of" family "and personal freedom, belief and choice. You accuse DiCo to question the family based on marriage to the Constitution, but perhaps the opposition to DiCo questions the Constitution, at least for his defense of individual self and its freedom to profess opinions, beliefs religious and personal choices without discrimination.

Ladainain Tomlinson Facemask

trigger-happy: the massacres in U.S. schools and the culture of violence

The massacre today in a U.S. college, after a shooting that caused dozens of deaths, is just the latest of similar episodes that periodically hit the United States. The tragedy will raise a hornet's nest of opinions and accusations, which are useful to fill seats and to straighten the audience of U.S. talk show, everything as in 1999 when the Columbine massacre shook the imaginary American Institute, linked to the idea of \u200b\u200bschool as means of escaping violence in the ghettos of the shootings. The wonder that violence explode as well, in an unexpected place, seemingly without warning, makes the mistake of confining these cases diverted to the mind of some young boys, as if listening to a certain type of music, bad company, or some mental disorder adolescent could justify a massacre. The scope of incidents like this is not so as to reduce a phenomenon on a personal basis, but perhaps in a malaise that affects American society as a whole, including the ease of gun ownership is just a corollary. Michael Moore in Bowling for Columbine, a documentary about the Columbine massacre, said the reason that the U.S. has a number of murders per capita three to four times higher than the European countries (see articles PeaceReporter: art. 1 and art. 2) with the presence and easy availability weapons state, a view supported by study at Harvard School of Public Health. Certainly the availability of weapons for all the violence can help you realize that the common person can try, but perhaps the problem should be tackled at its root. These phenomena are united by two things: it happens in places of training, and are made by young people. If a state like the United States is hit at home, by the people who are its future, and right in a symbol of their growth as citizens, is then to think that there is something wrong with the values \u200b\u200bthat in general ' Education and the U.S. mass media transmit to their generations. Will then just the statement that President George W. Bush will make to the nation on the matter, it is precisely because the U.S. administration and the propaganda that is bound to be legitimate form of behavior that laws in recent years have marked the world affairs: it thinks of the "Act" in the name of defense against terrorism justifies the restriction of rights (like privacy) of U.S. citizens, or detention without charge at Guantanamo as certain. There is no question the civil law to the possession of a weapon, as set by the U.S. Bill of Rights, but the abuse of rights that characterizes U.S. foreign and domestic policy. If the 'American dream "that the U.S. intends to export is made of war ... and if this is justified for the defense of the Fatherland, was hardly surprising that their children of this culture to be influenced. If violence and abuse are legal means for a state for the resolution of conflicts, it is not surprising that the weapons are seen by citizens a legitimate means of asserting their will. And it is perhaps in this light that you can read the U.S. refusal to abolish the death penalty and to regulate the arms trade: gun violence is not governed only by the political power of the National Rifle Association business and economic generates, but also has its roots in a culture that considers the weapons, or violence in general, half as another, if not the preferred way of confrontation and conflict.

GOOD AND EVIL OF DEMOCRACY: the polemic against the CEI

Not a day passes in which the CEI did not add an element to the controversy with the DICO. The statements today the newly elected president of CEI, Archbishop Bagnasco, highlight the basics "ideology" behind the opposition to de facto couples: Bagnasco said that first, if the "objective criterion for judging good and evil" is replaced by the 'consensus' or the public, or "dressed majorities democracy but that could become widely and severely undemocratic, violent or better ", it could degenerate into" aberrations "as" legalization of incest or pedophilia among consenting persons "Bagnasco then used these as examples of supposedly democratic majorities cases of England , where "a brother and sorellahanno children, live together and love each other" and Holland, with the case of the pedophile party. Regarding this first point, I would like to make some comments. First, the concepts of good and evil objective "of" natural and unnatural "called by many Angelus the Pope, have no objective basis but a cultural one, and it's the same story to show it: with the changing times have changed the concepts of good, bad, natural and unnatural, as adjusted from time to time in the dominant power, but the CEI is also talk of "nature", "right natural, "but without explaining precisely what it is based on this" anthropological ethics policy regarding human nature, which is' primarily a matter of nature and culture "as" human nature ", has historically taken on behaviors and norms depending on the different cultures and times, unless you want to take an ethnocentric policy as the "superiority of Western civilization" Bagnasco seems then be the bearer of an original concept of democracy, which, unbound by the public, is no longer the "people power" in order to recognize their legal rights, and thus implies a change in the representation of Deputies, representatives of the people no longer but the clergy, but if a nation is not governed by the power of the people, public law, but he stood by a minority church, the alternative to "anti-democratic majorities and violent" described Bagnasco can not be a theocracy; result the inevitable disappearance of the power of the people is that the "natural and objective criterion of good and evil" is to be a substitute to the 'self-determination two consenting individuals "Finally, it is really an interest in preserving the human species to enliven the controversy of the CEI, do not see why a theme that puts more radically into question the permanence of the human race, or the global state of war in world, are placed only in rare impromptu statements of the Pope, not assuming that the current political relevance, with the vote on the refinancing of the military, might suggest. pulling the findings, it appears that the bishops' attention is focused on an attempt to change the rules of the democratic game, which fits perfectly in the status of a lack of political representation Members: practicing Catholics in Italy, ranging, according to estimates by the Catholic Alliance, between 25% and 35% (data CESNUR), less than half the Italian population, and not all are contari reforms such as the recognition Legal status of unmarried couples , or even more thorny issues such as euthanasia . Opposition to say, simple legal recognition of a major reality in the country (de facto couples are twice as many marriages, the source ISTAT), you configure and then, beyond the specific targets of the clergy, as another case (next to the refinancing of military missions, at Dal Molin, etc..) that transforms Italian democracy into an oligarchy of the "great powers". A further demonstration that the "good" is not for everyone, but those in charge.

SAY THE OTHER ROAD TO PEACE: the newness of the mediation of Emergency

The release of Daniele Mastrogiacomo, thanks to the mediation of the NGO Emergency, has inaugurated a new form of intervention in a conflict. The positive resolution of the story for the Italian journalist does reflect on the motivations that may have pushed the Taliban to the release of a man with a serious charge of spying, plus the pay of the occupying troops.

1. The killing, however bloody, Mastrogiacomo's Afghan interpreter accompanying certainly does not think of an act of mercy of the Taliban;
2. seems, however, simplistic to think of a compromise of the Taliban when they get the release of some of their leaders (but not the withdrawal of the Italian): indeed, the killing of the journalist could have led to a rethinking of the refinancing Italian ISAF mission;
3. Third, although important, do not think that appeals to the liberation of the Italian population may indeed have influenced the release , as shown by past cases of journalists kidnapped and executed;

Despite the actors of the story have been multiple (the Italian secret services, the Karzai government, and yet, despite the criticism followed the U.S.), is common knowledge in the central mediation of Emergency . The hospital Afghan NGO free care who you are presented, regardless of age, religious belief or political affiliation: In a word, even by Taliban fighters. Not pausing here practical and symbolic importance of this initiative, which fully complies with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I want to stress that the opening of a civil confrontation with the Taliban and the peaceful settlement that followed was just about a organization that has a real mission humanitarian, made not with guns and bombs, but with medical care free and open to all. The dialogue with the Taliban shows the positive consideration of the NGO Emergency in the country, even among the extremists, who may not have influenced the release of Mastrogiacomo. This may account for the different fate than all'afghano is Italian in the Italian NGO, and the resulting positive regard for Italy at the Afghan population.

I conclude that if indeed the refinancing of the Italian mission ISAF is made in humanitarian function, and if the stay of the Italian contingent is seen as the prerequisite for starting the Afghan war to peaceful SAH, as expressed by Minister D'Alema, it should be rethought and changed its connotations in the light of this positive experience.

We tend to think the idea of \u200b\u200ba peace conference involving the Taliban even revolutionary idea, certainly against the strategies in vogue, as the "spring offensive". But just because against the Peace Conference can not happen until you achieve a real step, and not just symbolic, towards peace, that we can only occur with the withdrawal of Italian troops or a serious redefinition of the assumptions and for the ISAF mission. Find an alternative solution to the offensive military does not mean supporting the Taliban or a wish their return to power. But the war in Afghanistan, given the distance between the military and many civilian deaths (see to stay current PeaceReporter ), the destruction of the country and the few achievements, is a violation of human rights like the Taliban regime.

Rethinking the mission in Afghanistan from the means " belief that nothing is comparable to the value of human existence, and when it is actually a human life in danger, you should save it to carry out any act that do not directly destroy other "as the press release Emergency on the story Mastrogiacomo. If Italy wants to follow its belief that peace with the Peace Conference, is not only necessary to create a European unit as advocated yesterday by President Napolitano, but also give the Afghans a lead role in their own renaissance, and not to the victim, but to what are perhaps more necessary as the works of weapons of Emergency (also partly financed by Italy) new infrastructure, water purification ... A people alive and healthy for democracy will decide if the want. But the ISAF mission, with its victims and its bombing of civilians, can only bring enmity for the West and support for the Taliban, frustrated not only a "victory" but a military genuine desire for democracy for the Afghan people.

empty seats: Italian politics and the crisis of representation

Yesterday the House passed, by a majority of 95.9%, the decree that refinances military missions abroad: 4% missing for unanimity composed of 19 votes against and 3 abstentions. In total more than 99% of Deputies has voted against. The point here is to emphasize the many reasons not about policies that encourage an executive to vote against their own ideas, against the constitution: the nearly unanimous vote on refinancing military missions is primarily a vote against the voters, of which the deputies are to Definition representatives. You do not need "the ballet of the digits" of surveys to understand that among the mood of the population and the executive government, whether right-handed, left-handed or ambidextrous, is digging a groove more, un'incomunicabilità substance which can not fail have consequences, much more of a deep estrangement from politics, a general lack of interest or of increasing absenteeism from voting. The refinancing of missions is only one case in which the parliament speaks for itself, and not for the much-cited "real problems of the country." It can be considered a calculation in his pocket what drives the majority of Italians see eye evil money that could be occupied with equal solidarity (with a portion of funding for military missions could be abolished ticket health ...), or a feeling of "beautiful souls" pacifist, considered disconnected from reality the job of politicians, the fact is that now the "people sovereign and its agents speak two different languages. Here then is an Italy that a large majority is mobilized for peace, civil rights, welfare, be reduced to the logic of the opposition party, where "peace" is a word left, "safety" ambidextrous term, "welfare" required by tax evaders. There are those who live on their own land, he knows the needs, the reasons, there are those who live in his own chair, now empty because phenomena such as Afghanistan, the Dal Molin, the Tav, Moses, to say, the insane salaries of Sanremo, in their remoteness from the will and needs of Italians, show that Italian politics is marked by a growing vacuum of representation, therefore emblematic which can only be an electoral law that elects the deputies on the basis of the logic of the party. It will not be changing the electoral law to bring down from the chair representatives of a country that exists only in the offices of House.

Expulsion, formalized yesterday , Senator Franco Turigliatto PRC as a result of the abstention from the vote on foreign policy cost the government crisis, proposes the reasons for and against on the war in Afghanistan, where the refinancing, after the withdrawal of the Italian contingent in Iraq, expected to be submitted to the rooms. The ISAF mission (International Security Assistance Force) begins with acceptance in the international Italy in January 2002 followed by approval in parliament at the end of February of that year, with the task of "assisting the ' Afghan Interim Authority in maintaining security in Kabul and surrounding areas, so that the Authority and UN personnel can operate in a safe environment "(see p. 48 doc. on" Missions / International Activities "of the Ministry of Defense). In light of the upcoming spring offensive against the Taliban, moreover, confined to the area where the Italian contingent is present, it is useful to discuss the reasons for and against the stay of the soldiers. A first set of considerations in favor of staying the situation in Afghanistan, believed to be calmer than in Iraq and that the presence of foreigners seems justified by the Afghans themselves, the supporters of the withdrawal would be motivated by personal calculations that led them to "touch up reality " Afghan negative ( G. Rampoldi, Republic 31/7/2006). A withdrawal from Afghanistan would lead to a situation of anarchy, civil war that would facilitate the return to power of al-Qaeda. The reasons of pacifism would then be "shortcuts" to "Gandhi of television" to meet the feelings of the electorate rather than concrete solutions. From this viewpoint, the Emergency hospital in Kabul for war wounded would be guilty of treating even the Taliban ( G. Rampoldi, Republic 31/05/2006, see also Emergency Response). The second set of reasons contrary to the withdrawal highlights how the fundamentals of the ISAF mission iraquena are different from the invasion, for which Afghanistan and Iraq represent "two opposing concepts of international politics and the use of force": the UN resolution was in fact prior to the conflict, which was also motivated by the presence of a regime, the Taliban, support to the terrorists of al-Qaeda. The withdrawal would lead to a "strategic gap" with the historic Atlantic Alliance, which does not take into account the "historical memory and politics," Italian ( F. Venturini, Corriere della Sera, 31/5/2006 ). Stay is a sign of consistency on foreign policy and international credibility ( E. Scalfari, Republic 23/7/2006). The reasons then to insist on the diversity of the situation and of the foundations of Iraq and Afghanistan, emphasizing the reasons for withdrawal, which would cause a situation of anarchy and crises of the Atlantic alliance would be based more on ideological and political calculations and real proposals for solutions. These arguments can be argued that: The frequent cases of indiscriminate bombing of villages and the exhortation of G. Bush to send more troops (as Great Britain) to address this instability in most of the country show that even Afghanistan is not exempt from the chaos that characterizes Iraq. This situation, combined with abuse of the soldiers, causing an obvious hostility of the Afghan population against the occupiers, from the large number of accredited also militiamen belonging to the so-called "Afghan resistance." The reasons for proponents of the recall, although not politically disinterested, is based on a hot situation, as well as opinion, emerged from a survey , 56% of Italians are in favor of withdrawal, especially in light of huge costs of the mission. As regards the merits of the attack on Afghanistan, the nature of the ISAF mission has changed over the years, passing in 2003 under the NATO command in support dell'Enduring American Freedom. You can also make a small budget. Among the attacks of 11 / 9 / 2001, there was no Afghanistan. The Taliban accused of lining Bin Laden, (who took refuge in the mountains of Pakistan, U.S. ally) is financed with the proceeds of opium. Six years after the invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban were not defeated, bin Laden could be captured with an intelligence operation, is still free, opium more prosperous than before. On the issue of loyalty to alliances, it is necessary to distinguish between loyalty and unconditional support: the increased presence of troops European military bases in Afghanistan and as the Dal Molin base in Vicenza are functional for the Bush administration to move more troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for the next offensive. Finally we do not elaborate on the concept, ethically and legally questionable, to "export democracy", especially when the functional economic, political, geostrategic and related to the reconstruction U.S. . The fundamentals of the mission from the outset questionable, they are now even more; same goes for the Afghan situation, otherwise by the call to fidelity to the historical alliances, used as a reason for staying, you may then appeal in favor of withdrawal, consistent with another: that was the case with the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the repudiation of the constitutional war (Article 11). Peacekeeping missions are hospitals, infrastructure, financing, they can be protected by a military contingent, but what I have little or nothing to do with "spring offensive". The first step in a "conversion" of the ISAF mission as a truly humanitarian intervention and peace can only be so the withdrawal of the Italian contingent, so there is an appeal online .

ECONOMIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION: some economic considerations of the possible U.S. attack on Iran

rumors these last days of Anglo-American press (Including New Yorker , Independent ) reported that preparations are at an advanced stage for a military attack on Iran. A possible air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities would only be a development of the Cold War that the U.S. and Israel are pursuing for some time with Iran. Verbal provocations from Iran on the nuclear and the existence of Israel, which the U.S. responded with subtle threats and propaganda about the intentions of an Iranian nuclear attack, we moved U.S. authorization to kill Iranian agents in Iraq . However, beyond these disagreements and a potential nuclear underestimated by the Israelis themselves, the real motive of a possible attack on Iran should be tried in motivation economiche.WJ Clark in the 2003 essay " Revisited: the real reason for the upcoming war with Iraq ", citing as reason of macroeconomic 'attack on Iraq will bring back the dollar as currency, hoping to thwart the intention, expressed in 2000 by OPEC countries like Iran, Iraq and Venezuela (which underwent a coup in the same year), oil trade with the euro, the euro, in addition to being devalued to a lesser extent the dollar is the currency of most countries that share the oil with Iran. In this direction would also represent the government's intention to open an Iranian oil bourse alternative to the two Americans. It 'clear that the conversion oil in euro would enhance economic crisis statunitense.Un second set of considerations about the economic reasons behind the decision to attack Iran is based precisely on the' war economy "in the U.S.. Indeed, escalating terrorism around the world following the attack on Iran would only add fuel to the fire of propaganda of the Bush administration, further legitimizing military ambitions and encouraging more and more the transition, as defined by the Los Angeles Times , the new economy to an economy like the U.S. war . Paradoxically, the revenues of the defense industry, as well as being the motive of the U.S., may be an obstacle to the attack, because Russia and China. The opposition of the two nations on sanctions against Iran is in fact based on substantial energy trade and military that Russia and China have with Iran. If behind plans for war with Iran, apart from many other reasons geopolitical, is the specter of economic reasons, it is clear that the problem must be tackled at its root, not only by cutting the link between economic recovery, employment and development of war (think of the propaganda of hundreds of new jobs that would provide the Dal Molin base in Vicenza), but also a continuous work for demilitarization and conversion to civilian areas, and funds appropriated for war costs (as in the 2006 Budget ).

"Thou wilt 'FA' L'IRAN ..": the relationship between Italy and Iran between pacifism and interests of 'ENI

morning

A. Larijani, Iran's nuclear negotiator, said he had received from R. Prodi ideas for a peaceful solution to the dispute over Iranian nuclear issue. This can be seen not only as a further testimony to the peace of Italy at the international level, but also of good diplomatic relations in these months, the Prodi government has held with Iran.

But stop to these considerations would be a superficial reading of the question. In fact, Italy, as stated by the French prime minister De Villepin, has extensive knowledge of the Islamic Republic, which also let you know how to handle the thorny nuclear issue: a thorough knowledge of the fact that Italy is "the first business partners "of Tehran.

Iran is among the top five world producers of oil, which is managed (similar to what happened in Iraq before the U.S. engaged in freely implemented by the protectorate) to state control, which means that the affairs of private foreigners in this area are tied to political reasons, Italy has been very active in ' imports of oil and gas and' exports of industrial machinery in the Islamic republic needs. A confirmation of the excellent commercial relations between the two countries think of the founding of a -Iranian Chamber of Commerce in 1999 and the agreement in 2001 between the Bank Markazi Iran Bank and UBAE Arab Italian Bank, joint- Arab-Italian venture for the financing of Iranian imports from Italy.

You do not want to go into detail here of the many economic exchanges between Italy and Iran, which invest the various areas, but focus on a company Italian that has distinguished itself in recent years in the undertaking business abroad: ENI, just think of all Nassyria or ' Iraq.

ENI is active in Iran in two fields, one an oil and gas. Li Vigni Benito, a former ENI and author of "oil Wars", describes a ' interview ENI's interests in Iran, " we were the first to have concessions Buy-Back. This type of contract stipulates that the oil company that is an ore, in our case always Eni, can keep for himself the proceeds of the sale of crude oil until it covers the costs claimed for research, and then can hold only 25 percent of revenues, giving the remaining 75 percent to the state. In Iran applies the Buy-Back and the PSA is banned , "adding that in case of attack on Iran" Italy is likely to lose their deposits .

It is now more clear how the 'commitment of the Prodi government to temper the tone of the crisis and sanctions on Iran goes far beyond the Italian repudiation of war expressed in Article 11.

But there is another interesting aspect of the matter: Italy not stopping to entertain, by ENI, commercial relations with Tehran, the ILSA violates , The 'Iran-Libya Sanction Act , made law by the Bush administration in 2001, which would impose sanctions on those who helped to develop the oil resources of Iran and Libya, thus contributing indirectly to promote through enrichment, 's rise to nuclear .

Commitment "Vietnam" in Italy in the Iranian crisis arises so in line with Russia and China, all countries that have much to lose economically in the prospect of an attack on Iran. The economic reasons are placed so as a motive, but also as a potential deterrent effect on the fate of a conflict.

A CENTURY OF HATE: the soldiers, executioners and victims of war

There is only one element that unites the warring parties in (or in) the civil war iraquena: hatred for the occupying army. And in the light of facts like these is not it surprising. Sergeant Paul Cortez, 24, was sentenced to 100 years imprisonment for the rape of a 14 year old girl and the slaughter of his family, father, mother, and sister of 7 years. The confession of the sergeant made him avoid the death penalty, and obtaining, through negotiation, the possibility of parole in 10 years. The charges of murder, rape, violation of private property, criminal conspiracy, arson ... they were allocated on the basis of the March 2006, when Cortez and four other soldiers decided to attack the girl's family, chosen for the presence of one man. After the gang rape, the girl's body is burned to conceal the violence and family members killed. The other sentences already set amount to 90 years for another companion of Cortez and the radiation from the army for all participants in the massacre.

Of the many cases of gratuitous violence against the population iraquena and Afghanistan in recent years have risen to the news only more bloodshed, for the record, or perhaps more to vojeurismo news. Just think of the desecration of corpses and displays of symbols of the Third Reich by German soldiers in Iraq, or the cremation (forbidden by Islam and the Geneva Conventions) of the Taliban by the U.S. military, up to the best known cases of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. A whole constellation of human rights violations that are the results "natural" than the free zone law, and humanity, which is war. Dall'innanuralità of humanity killing itself can not follow that cases like this, where the distinction between victims and victimizers fades, becoming nothing.

Soldiers caught in situations of social and economic, in which war is the only real hope of employment, social redress, as shown symbolically M. Moore in Fahrenheit 9 / 11 : the children of some U.S. senators are not sent to the front. Soldiers, executioners and victims themselves, as shown the surge in the suicide rate of the Marines in Iraq, of mental health problems, and increasing cases of desertion.

B (ENI) IRAQUENI: appeal against the online sale of ENI oil iraqueno

The story begins on 1 May 2003, with the settlement at the head of the U.S. proconsul Paul Bremer in Iraq after the removal of Saddam Hussein. Bremer is the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA , now dissolved) that launches the new constitutional iraqueno, comprising among other things, orders 100 ( orders) for the reconstruction of the economic system iraqueno and management of its resources .

The leitmotif of the new economic policy iraquena, as is clear from the orders, is the privatization of state resources, not excluding oil, which will be produced and distributed by multinationals, especially U.S., thus making the place the state oil company iraquena. Thanks to the PSA, the Production Sharing Agreements, literally "production sharing agreements," the monopoly of foreign multinational oil iraqueno will be for the next 30 / 40 years, with losses of 2 to 7 times the national budget of Iraq. But there's more: to take part in the sale of oil iraqueno ENI is once again at the apex in the news after the abduction of engineers in Darfur and interest Nasiriyah.

's why many NGOs and associations, including A Bridge to , CRBM , Amisnet (which also advances proposals for alternative management of oil iraqueno) seek to sign the online petition to Economy Minister Tommaso Padoa Schioppa to demand that Italy, through the state-owned ENI, which is for 32 %, distances himself from the plunder of oil resources iraquene.

Again comes the confirmation that the economic system, in its attempt to monopoly of natural resources, lies at the heart of world conflicts, from which one can leave not only with difficult political maneuvering (Italy is an obvious example ), but first of all with the spread of an alternative model of development, as proposed by the Countryside to reform the World Bank .

FALL OF LAW: budget a one-year term on human and civil rights

The resignation of Romano Prodi, after "five of spades" on the Senate vote on foreign policy, authorizing an assessment of a year of government on of human and civil rights, regardless of how the situation will evolve in the coming hours. The

large sums allocated by the Budget and funding war costs of the missions of "peacekeeping " in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon have led to cuts in many areas of public spending, including on international cooperation in cutting threatened but then withdrawn. Economic interests and the international prestige has been the main driving force of foreign policy, as evidenced by the division ENI 's oil iraqueno (One thinks of the dramatic story of the technicians kidnapped in Darfur), the race with other states sending and command of the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon, the disregard for military purposes and declared the environmental impact of base in Vicenza.

Staying on the environmental front, despite the recent initiatives on energy conservation and the fact that liberalization has not touched the goods of mass consumption such as water , the government went ahead on the path of "great works" as TAV and Moses, but of questionable utility and considerable environmental damage.

There were, however, calls for a political solution and not of recent military conflicts in the world and a foreign policy of the previous bolder in criticizing U.S. unilateralism (like during the bombing of Nigeria); also important travel diplomats in Africa (Italy is the only state to essersene concerned) and in India, with the call of Prime Minister Gandhi , and commitment against the death penalty.

In terms of rights have been at least discussed issues of civil unions, euthanasia and alleged violations of the CPT for immigrants.

The fall of its own government on matters related to the theme of war, along with the decline because sending Blair's troops in Iraq and Bush's Vietnam iraqueno, show how the search for a non-military solution to the international problems is a necessity not only linked to human rights, but also in the interest of stability of each government.

What Color Sofa Goes With Dark Hardwood Floors

PEACE MAD

"One Saturday fear of anti-American ", "100,000 crazy in the streets", "Pacifism terrifies Vicenza" are these titles some newspapers commenting on the large demonstration in Vicenza against the expansion of the military base, which is, as we have already seen , a location for the next offensive in Afghanistan and Iraq announced by the U.S. Congress, in addition to causing a cost significant environmental. Yet you are still unable to get out of the logic of the opposition party, understand that peace is a value that goes beyond the definitions, right, left, global, not global, American, anti-American. The paradox is that the words that accompany a demonstration against the war, in which a humanity kills itself, words are just war: "fear", "crazy", "terror", as if to be crazy, scary and awe, was the hope of a future in which problems are resolved by other means, not war. Even more paradoxical words of a head of government for the logic of coalition and international reputation by its agreement to a base, even when used for purposes declared "civilian", "living" is still a military base . And this is even more surprising when you consider that the same person a few days before the tomb of Mahatma Gandhi , said: "Too often we did not follow his teaching," and praised Mother Teresa as an example for all, an example of what the world needs. "

A flag hanging from a balcony is our condition: the window from which we view the world can still carry a strong message that "eye for an eye and the world goes blind" (MK Gandhi).
