This America and Democracy, national and international
It 's true that the biggest protest movements such as the No-Global are born in the USA. Rocco asks why.
It 'easy to understand: perhaps because it is in the USA were born certain policies aimed at the commercialization of everyday life and elimination of security for those who work, the privatization of social services, the creation of the GATS and the like. Then came the protest in the U.S. just because the U.S. was born the phenomenon of globalization.
and how they are treated this context we should discuss, as the sun during recent protests in San Francisco have been arrested 1,400 people .. in Washington do not talk about ... people arrested for demonstrating peacefully in front of the white house ... but Genoa G8: Americans surpass us in this.
E 'this is democracy? In a country where Al Jazeera is not given access to the New York Stock Exchange? Where the only Iraqi journalist was arrested on suspicion of espionage? Where Fox TV news of huge military successes and then deny them 5 or 10 minutes later?
Who are these defenders of human rights? The same not guaranteeing the rights of Guantanamo prisoners to the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war. The same people who complained of American POWs shown on Iraqi television by the same ones that were then appealed to the Geneva Convention that they have never met, a few days before they had spread all over the world images of Iraqi prisoners who knelt on the ground in front of a Marine for mercy. The same that General Michael Jackson, commander of British forces in Iraq has criticized the methods by which U.S. troops treat Iraqi civilians, why ruin the British efforts to "conquer" the hearts of the people.
are the ones who distribute the food aid that is on the border between Kuwait and Iraq, food aid and not from the USA, but blocked by the U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf and transporting stocks regularly paid by the Government of 'Iraq under the oil-for-food program.
But the most important thing that escapes Rocco (but sorry, you probably did not do our own studies on law and international organizations) are not the United States is deciding whether a country is not respecting the UN resolutions. Only the United Nations ed in particolare il Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'ONU che solamente può decidere se uno stato sta o non sta violando le risoluzioni. E' stato il Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'ONU a riportare gli ispettori in Iraq.
E tutto il consiglio di sicurezza (ad eccezione di USA, UK, Bulgaria e Spagna) si era espresso positivamente sugli esiti delle ispezioni che stavano portando a risultati decisivi.
Ovviamente la pressione di un intervento militare anglo-americano ha spinto Saddam ad una maggiore co-operazione con gli ispettori.
Ma proprio qui sta l'errore madornale di Bush ed il suo mancato successo politico: la pressione militare avrebbe potuto portare a
risultati ben maggiori ed ad un disarmo totale, col sostegno di tutta la comunità internazionale e senza aver sparato un colpo.
Invece questa amministrazione ha usato gli ispettori come un diversivo tattico per dare il tempo alle forze armate angloamericane di costruire un arsenale d'attacco in Kuwait, per altro non sufficiente per ottenere i risultati che si aspettavano: prendere Baghdad in un paio di giorni con tanti baci e abbracci degli sciti del Sud.
Ma quale liberazione? Come mai gli sciti non gioiscono e non accolgono i liberatori a braccia aperte? Come mai i civili martoriati dai bombardamenti, quando prendono il cibo e i medicinali dalle mani degli angloamericani, due secondi dopo inneggiano a Saddam facendo loro segni di disprezzo?
Come mai gli americani non sono riusciti a prendere nemmeno una città irakena, che persino Umm Qasr non è sicura e non è mai stata completamente conquistata in quanto l'unico porto preso dagli angloamericani è quello nuovo, ben distante dal centro abitato.
Infine, ritenere giustificabile.. o comprensibile.. la rottura della legalità internazionale come un colpo di stato in un paese libero e democratico, vuol dire non dare valore alla legalità, alla giustizia, alla democrazia e soprattutto alla libertà di un popolo e il proprio autogoverno. Persino l'opposizione Irakena in esilio si è sempre espressa in favore si del rovesciamento di Saddam, ma per opera del suo stesso popolo, non di un invasore.
Per that even the Kurds and the Shiites of the PUK, major allies of the Anglo-American military and only real winners of this war, have made it clear that they will accept only a military and logistical aid from the Americans, but want to manage themselves on their own country, together with the other members of the Iraqi National Congress.
Finally, as far as I can endure the law and international justice, I hope that this conflict will end as soon as possible, especially to stop the carnage and humanitarian catastrophe.
anti-American and even I do not think we need more support than ever in this world strong and respectable country that can guarantee justice internationally, and that the U.S. has lost an opportunity to show themselves capable of handling a crisis of this magnitude.

What if the Iraqis would not give up and if the management of Iraq as soon as it was entrusted to the UN and the Iraqis themselves as soon as possible, thus restoring credibility and respectability to international organizations and the United States itself.
Many escapes one thing: if this war would turn into another Viet Nam and if were to be extended indefinitely, we would have a series of fearsome effects:
1. the development of a wider regional crisis See also involved Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia after
2. One race non-conventional weapons by all countries that believe they are in some way in the U.S. expansionist policies or
3. lifting of Western public opinion and especially Arab and further development of terrorism on an international basis
4. de-legitimization of the political role of the U.S., NATO and the UN.
So un-American to whom?
anti-American and who has dragged America into the quagmire of an illegal war against a UN member state.
anti-American and who has forced his country to trudge into the desert and the U.S. military put the sedan in front of the world.
anti-American and who, before the world whole, has made his army responsible for a massacre of civilians daily.
The world order is also based on the credibility legal, military and political superpower of this, the supposed guarantor of international institutions and law.
Was it really necessary to put at risk?
