Cold Sore On Dogs Lip

THE POLITICAL wait and hope

Il Nordafrica, seguito anche dall’Iran (almeno in parte) sta continuando a bruciare e nessuno – né l’Europa e neppure l’America – sembra poter fare qualcosa per spengere l’incendio. Ricordiamo brevemente come è iniziata la storia: giovani diplomati o laureati che hanno come unico miraggio quello di andare all’estero per poter campare, si sono finalmente arrabbiati ed hanno dato luogo a manifestazioni di protesta verso i loro governi: prima la Tunisia, poi l’Egitto e – passando sopra alle varie Algeria, Yemen e addirittura alla tranquillissima Giordania - abbiamo la Libia, dove il bersaglio è Gheddafi, il quale fra l’altro, riveste la carica di Presidente della Lega Araba.
I primi due Paesi stanno passando un periodo di calma, ma solo perché le Forze Armate hanno “sostituito” i militari al potere (sia Ben Alì Mubarack that come from the Armed Forces) waiting to do - at least six months - that elections should be "democratic", since in these countries there are political parties that have a minimum of credibility and electoral strength, it seems logical assume that the only organized structure - the Islamic fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood of origin - will power, this time through farcical elections (in the same way as was the fall of the Shah in Iran). Young people who have rebelled, they deserve something better than the usual parade of Imam!
In Libya, the situation is not yet clear: Gaddafi has not escaped - seems to want to die a "martyr" - as did his other colleagues, but has given a mandate to the violent repression of its armed forces, and these were split: some followed orders and made of authentic massacres (I am a thousand victims, at the time of this writing), while another part has sided with the demonstrators and some aviators are even fled the country with their airplanes.
At this point, the typical hypocrisy of the West, first look to their interests and see how the smoke to the eyes of the crowd that the demonstrations disrupt "business," while the other is forced to condemn the violent actions of power.
A corollary of the situation of these countries - especially in Libya, the fourth largest oil producer in the world - begin to impact on fuel prices and the stock exchanges in general, which all appear in fibrillation.
addition to the oil problem, it seems that around Europe - but especially to Italy - you are clutching a ring Islamic "only that Israel's presence prevents the compactness and closure, so we must force the game to cheer for this country, hoping that the lone bastion, albeit helped by the U.S., resist shock, because after it's up to us to find the front line. And remember that at the beginning
the second millennium, around 1050/1100, when Europe is in danger very similar, Pope Urban II proclaimed a "Holy Crusade" against Islam and Jjhad saved Christian Europe and obviously this is impossible because even when the priests would be willing to go to the "crusade" and to die for their God, on the other hand, however, there are thousands of people who yearn for martyrdom as they would in the presence of their God, the battle is!
Let's face it: it does not seem well made and, as a minimum - leaving aside the violence - we have a long-term energy crisis and global finance shake, partly due to political turmoil and created an instrumental part in the usual speculators operating in all parts of the globe and that - as a slogan - "never sleep". Let's hope so!
