have had to wait for the bloody tyrant Gaddafi get get to the very gates of Benghazi, rebel stronghold, for a coalition of Western democracies finally decided to intervene militarily in Libya . What more precious time is lost between dimes, diretes, strips, let up and so many doses of empty rhetoric. How many innocent lives could have been saved from the cruel slaughter perpetrated. But it is the sign of the times: a burocratizante 'multilateralism', raised to an absolute principle in the view of external relations, from taking immediate action, not to threats to international security, but even against the worst human rights abuses , whose defense should be the inalienable foundation north and west, both within and outside its borders.
So that if the Arab League, which will soon get open if the conflict develops into a cyst, had not given his approval, and if China and Russia would have abstained in the Security Council of the UN, the Libyan dictator , merciless, annihilating continue to please his own people. At this point, has not even drawn any lesson from the recent and raw experience of the Balkan War, which, remember, the Western allies reluctant to get involved militarily, they ended up speaking under NATO command (for Indeed, without the 'placet' United Nations), although such an untimely hour by then Milosevic was now completing its gruesome ethnic cleansing. Hopefully this time it is too late.
In any case, this war (yes, war) declared North African dictatorial regime can have no other end to the expulsion of Qaddafi, and ruthlessly, power. Especially when it comes to protecting the Libyan people for the abuses of satrap. In this regard, it has not repeated the fatal mistake of the first Gulf War, that just cause your season then: after freeing Kuwait, certain geostrategic considerations, as judicious as misguided, led to Bush not to lift a finger for overthrow of Saddam Hussein, who set no limits on absolutism, suppressing Iraq and continue to defy the international community. Such mischief had to fix another Bush, his son, twelve years later, although the democratization of Iraq certainly has not been free from trauma and adversity. Precisely the fear that Libya will become a new Iraq or another Afghanistan, that is, that the war against Qadhafi, or rather the management of the war, also generates a complicated quagmire of output, has retreated to an Obama already themselves petrified by his untimely Nobel Peace Prize. Fortunately, his secretary of state, most affects the 'realpolitik', made him see the desirability of U.S. intervention, but ultimately will be limited . This voluntary loss of importance, rather worrying who traditionally liberal and democratic and military power should always lead causes for freedom and against tyranny, will involve greater weight in the UK and especially France, prepared in this case to regain its 'grandeur' for the greater glory of Sarkozy, who, appealing to the voter, the more chauvinistic, may also have found a liniment to ease its hitherto negative electoral prospects. In any case, it is expected that this role reversal does not prevent the coalition military operations to achieve their objectives with little difficulty.
As the position to be taken by our nation, and apart from the blatant hypocrisy and inconsistency of those who came irritant to the Government under the easy as pie and demagogic slogan of 'no war', Spain should be set unconditionally next to the Western democratic powers and provide support as necessary. As in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan, and Iraq. For our place in the world, in Western freedom and democracy, and in this case by our geographical situation, in Mediterranean Europe along with Italy and France itself. That same president who, as a first step, we will cover with shame by ordering our troops fleeing Iraq, finish digging a nearly his regrettable enforceable, and very full in a war, is but an irony of history . And can some 'pacifist' irreducible disguise this fact as they want.
