escape the trap of the alternative between the Libyan tyrant must exit the scene and "humanitarian" bombing of NATO. Say clearly what is happening. The decision of the Security Council of the UN, made with five abstentions and ten votes in favor, under pressure from France and England, back to the Middle East, and at the end of the recalcitrant U.S., is a military intervention. There should be no doubt. Even when disguised once more "humanitarian" intervention "to protect civilians" and even exclude, for now, the land occupation. The no-fly zone, determined without regard to Tripoli, can only be imposed by bombing. On these occasions, prefers to speak of "selective targets" and "surgical operations". With the possibility-ie, of further massacres of civilians, as happened in Iraq and Afghanistan and as we saw in the Balkans. We have endless evidence of this huge lie.
Russia and Germany countries that abstained in the Crystal Palace, expressed precisely this concern with the addition at the last moment of need, above all, a declaration of ceasefire by the two parties in conflict. It is no coincidence that Germany now justify their rejection of the no-fly zone for "the considerable risks and dangers" that entails. Hazards and confirmed, moreover, by the fact that Tripoli has just accepted the cease-fire, has shouted "Tongo".
But we must not remain silent about the need to actually leave the scene Gaddafi. He and his regime, which has lasted too long and that in any case has shattered, his delusions of omnipotence and its serious responsibilities in the degeneration of the crisis. From this point of view, everything was still in play until ten days ago. He had anticipated the possibility of exile, Gaddafi and his family, with a pass to a neutral country. But it was also announced, at the request of the US-which, however, does not recognize the Criminal Court of Human Rights, his trial before the Court for "war crimes" still untested. Despite the insistence of Fohg Rasmussen, secretary general of NATO, that civilian casualties are an expert, "to denounce. Crimes which, together with excessive propaganda, no doubt must have occurred and be punished. But, according to the ICC prosecutor Moreno Ocampo, concern "to both parties in arms."
So the possibility that Gaddafi leaves the scene is gone missing. Now everything seems to have ended in a deadlock. No other option than a bloodbath, because as things stand, it seems that the only goal that remains is the military attack with air strikes. We forget that some of the appliances that are bombing and killing civilians and rebels in Libya are the same as French jets sold Sarkozy wooing Qaddafi to palm insistently terrifying aircraft among the most expensive in the world.
Finally, there is the ambiguity of the Italian government, which until ten days ago was a courageous ally of Gadhafi, who asked him to "contain" the Maghreb detain immigration in new areas of concentration for the fleeing desperate poverty in Africa , and now candidate as a launching pad for air strikes and naval blockade. And may not be based just as the dannunziano Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa, claiming the "right" to bomb the Italian aircraft also. I wonder if historically Italy is keen to repeat, sixty years of what happened when colonialism, a military attack on a country which has already caused 100,000 deaths, one eighth of the Libyan population [then]. I wonder if we really let's assume this responsibility. For historical memory must say no. But for the present.
How sad epilogue would be for the spring in the Arab world. The signal would be represón blood and military, as in Yemen, as has happened in the midst of general silence these days in Bahrain, the Gulf countries themselves acting now in no-fly zone in Libya intervened militarily Manama to support the "Gaddafi" local.
At these times, and until the end, it also mediate for peace. The road is a ceasefire, it would appear from late even the words of President Barack Obama, which should see now the other armed conflict which reeks of oil. Ceasefire must be accompanied by an intervention of UN observers to stand and defend human lives. Otherwise, only the war really flies. 03/19/2011
