Gaddafi Realpolitik and the dignity of
Gianmario Mariniello
you imagine that Gaddafi is in Paris or Berlin and arranges a meeting with 500 hosts to tell them "become Muslim"? We do not. It is no coincidence Gaddafi certain antics - is the right word - she was doing in Rome, not Paris or Berlin. Long live the Realpolitik, Kissinger's books but does not say that the walkway should be granted to dictators on home soil, under the absolute legality of Rome these days seems to be a Libyan extraterritorial possession. Viva
Affairs, long live the Italy-Libya treaty that has helped us to solve the problem of illegal landings, living materials first Libyan Libyan alive highway will be realized by our entrepreneurs, all alive but the dignity of a country comes first.
We can not imagine a single European leader who goes to Mecca to say "become Christians" would be disrespectful. But we have to feel that Gaddafi in the Town of Christianity calls for the conversion 500 girls and low-cut asunder, carefully selected by a special agency. A conception of women offensive and repugnant. And more: how Islam honors the bombast girl who takes pictures with the Koran resting on the neck?
A serious country would be dissociated, indignant, we will solve everything with the policy of the pat on the back, but in the manuals of Kissinger is not. Viva
Affairs, said. But are we sure that this foreign policy throughout Libya-centric and pro-Russian is really in the interests of Italy? Our Western European partners and will not be excited about this foreign policy Levantine and colorful on the edge of ridiculous. And finally, our country is in danger of losing ground in the salons that matter of foreign policy, in exchange for good relations but more questionable (and trash) with autocrats, dictators and various clowns. The dignity of a nation is a value, economical. No more clowning around.

Searching credible foreign policy
Potito Salatto *
Here we go again. Politics is a serious matter and you should be able to do, especially when it comes to foreign policy. It is not scandalized if each country takes into account primarily the economic aspects. It is, however, to know how to deal with so far, especially if political force in forming relationships not just edifying.
Can anyone imagine that France, Germany, Spain, England, America does not have economic interests in Iran, for example? But maybe someone has permission to Ahmadinejad to visit their capital in the manner of Gaddafi, to enhance its unique model of society, religion and democracy in their countries? How will they react
other European countries with a Catholic majority, the solicitation of Libyan leader Kadhafi to Islamize the whole of Europe? And 'it possible that any responsible institution (for example, the foreign minister) is able to adequately respond to this formal and substantive offense occurred in a country the center of Christianity? At other times would have been canceled all scheduled meetings.
The President of the Chamber Gianfranco Fini, for example, canceled the meeting with Gadhafi for the late hour of the latter, showing dignity and respect for his constitutional position. And economic interests? Those would be Survivors quietly and without unnecessary bragging.
Civilizations rise and progress as bearers of values \u200b\u200band well-being. When the values \u200b\u200bfade or disappear, leaving just the well-being, tied to economic cycles alternating may disappear. And with it the same civilization. This is the point of crisis of the West: the absence of values \u200b\u200bon which is the soft underbelly of the Islamic targets, yet disjointed, fortunately, are aimed at the twenty-first century. Riappropriamoci therefore our moral and religious values: they are the only possible dam that will at least postpone our decline. Just be aware of this need to respond. Civilized, democratic, but intelligence.

because tolerance can not cover Italy's ridiculous
Alfredo Castiglione
Mu'ammar al-Quaddafi, 1 September 1969, took part in the coup organized by the Movement of Free Officers Unionists. He had twenty-eight years. As a representative
extremist wing of the movement, took command in the role of "Chairman of the Council of the Revolution." Here derived from 'the role of commander of the armed forces, and in 1970 became Prime Minister.
Qaddafi was known for his intransigence towards foreigners and imposed: the evacuation of British and U.S. bases, the nationalization of the oil giant BP and the expropriation of the total assets of the community 'Italian. Then, with large oil revenues, saw to finance revolutionary movements worldwide. The rest
'history as we know, from the radical pan-Arabism, suspicion of fomenting terrorism, culminating in the melee with the United States, which President Reagan ended with a surgical bombing, where Gaddafi managed' to escape by a whisker.
Colonel exchange 'route. Heads' that the road was steep and no exit, and publicly made amends, getting from the United States cancellation by rogue states.
The man we see in these days and 'on to seventy, with forty of power on the shoulders, as well as' bizarre.
not forget the character of Colonel during these decades of power. Always prone to provocation, the plot twists, shocks to the theater, to the whims. A man who kept his promises, which overturned a sense of history, who came to walk on the paradoxes, where he felt at ease.
But Italy and 'a neighbor across the country of Libya and Libya, as well as being a country colonized by the Italians, and' also a huge wealth of natural reserves of fuel. In addition to a country to modernize. And Libya pass routes of traffickers of human lives directly in Italy.
short, a country with which to deal. And ours is' one of the few nations that can talk.
But the Colonel does pay a penalty in that dialogue, based on the brunt of its past and our history of colonization and "European". It seems that his behavior these days, are a mixture of exhibitionism and visceral anger, desire to impress and wants to humiliate.
The line between folklore and culture of a people in a unique blend that makes puzzled observers and then the Italians.
a tolerant people, our own, which hears appeals to Europe to convert Islam, specified in the capital of Catholicism. Appeals come from an individual who has no beneficial 'religious issuing them. So why are only invited on an individual, as sterile ultravelleitari.
But what is striking, and 'the frame. With more than 500 girls ready 'for a casting, which for a conference.
Also, at this point, one wonders why 'the non-convening of the male. 'Cause discrimination against men?
This too 'provocative. The Islamic religion, which has always had a macho characterization now places the woman in the spotlight. It celebrates almost superiority '.
And so 'the colonel's presidential guard, which should also serve as a human shield in case of danger, and therefore the life of Colonel, and' in the hands of females, and then the Amazons, the girls that Libyan leader is a lesson in cultural-religious.
What to say? What do you think? Confusing. A heap of contradictions.
It must be very thick if a leader of the PDL, Wolves, ends up having the same opinion of his most 'strenuous opposition politicians.
takes these comments to see Colonel Gaddafi. And we, with our legal culture and institutions, giving a limit. Why 'no tolerance can 'to cover Italy and the Italians of ridicule from the world.

Our foreign policy in the Mediterranean and the relationship with Libya
Gianluca Sadun Bordoni
fades While the clamor for the provocations of Colonel Gaddafi and capitalize the advantages that cooperation with Libya produces for our country, you can groped a first reflection, more detached, covering the whole of our foreign policy in the Mediterranean and the relationship with Libya.
Comparatively, the distances are smaller in the center-right, foreign policy, compared to other areas. It must be recognized to the Government and our diplomacy to have Having worked in general always clear the national interest. I do not think it right here to be confused with criticism of the opposition, aiming to ridicule our foreign policy. And that beyond some questionable behavior of Berlusconi ("the diplomacy of the cuckoo," he calls himself) or dell'acquiescenza shown against the unpredictable Gaddafi (which the UN a year ago, did not behave much better ).
As for the Mediterranean, so important for us, there is no denying that have been achieved some important results: it is not easy to be greeted with equal enthusiasm in Jerusalem and Tripoli. The strong support given to Israel is big news in Italian foreign policy. It should also give a summary on the government to have kept some solid strategic choices, such as the openness of Turkey's European Union (here the league has had less influence than elsewhere).
One can only observe that Italy (but this is not just the current government) invests a greater extent in bilateral relations, which is likely to bring concrete results, not a character in action 'regional', which requires time longer. In the Mediterranean, the initiative in a regional sense has always been more English and French and Italian not by chance, the first experiment euro-Mediterranean partnership is called 'Barcelona Process', from the city when it was launched in 1995 on a strong English initiative and the revitalization of the partnership, which took the name Union for the Mediterranean, has been thought and wanted President Sarkozy, who held a baptism in Paris in July 2008. In this regional policy of Europe towards the Mediterranean, Italy has always played a marginal role, although it may furnish a partial consolation that the successes of this policy was rather low. The fact remains that it is the EU's Mediterranean policy and that Italy would all titles (and interest) to play a leading role. One can hope that the Minister Frattini, flew to Tripoli for the summit of the countries of the Western Mediterranean, will be able to define a stronger for Italy, at least in this 'forum' sub-regional level.
Within the Arab world, a country that has most fiercely resisted European policy was Libya. And so here we go back to Gaddafi. Libya did not join the Barcelona Process and was fiercely opposed, more recently, the project of Sarkozy. Before the summit in Paris on 13 July 2008, Qadhafi convened a meeting in Tripoli (June 10), attended by the President of Algeria, the Syrian, the Prime Minister of Morocco and Mauritania, to boycott the French initiative, still considered too 'Eurocentric'. While preparing to sign the treaty of friendship between Italy and Libya, which we have just celebrated two years, Gadhafi objected so strongly to the European Union's Mediterranean policy. E 'in the light of this attitude which should be considered the' vision 'of the Mediterranean tumbler during his visit to Rome by the Libyan leader, who wants to expel from the Mare Nostrum American ally and kept under blackmail Europe, threatening to leave the buried black tide of immigration. Here the condescension shown towards Gaddafi is much more problematic than ostentatious against ridiculous call to conversion the hostess.
does not escape the difference here with the attitude of Mr Fini, in an earlier visit to Gaddafi in Rome in July 2009. Because of the delay dell'ingiustificato Colonel, you will recall, Fini then canceled the meeting. The text of which should have taken, however, was delivered to the press and it Fini replied harshly anti-Americanism of the Colonel: "The democracies, from the American, might be wrong, but it certainly can not be compared to terrorists." And in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process: "I want to emphasize the Leader Gaddafi that the development of the Union for the Mediterranean - Of which Israel and the Palestinian Authority are part of a title - may encourage the achievement of peace in the Middle East and the accession of Libya would strengthen such a possibility. "
pity that the Colonel could not hear these words then, and that nobody in the Italian government, has felt the need to oppose the other day concepts similar to the aggressive, anti-American, but in fact even anti-European vision of the Mediterranean ye say Gaddafi. The usefulness of the Italian-Libyan cooperation was not questioned, and Italy have been shown to be a partner able to demand respect from all political parties.
