"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).
