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 .
