If Horn of Africa comes the new Caliphate of terror

Magdi Allam - I would be willing to bet that in a few months will prevail if the argument that Somalia will become the new front of the "Islamic Holy War 'of Bin Laden and his followers, the blame will be Bush who was the instigator of Ethiopia to occupy a country that, after all, was beginning to experience a degree of calm.

But as I hope to lose the bet , at least try to clarify what we're talking about. Is this tense military invasion of Ethiopia to occupy Somalia? No, because if this was the goal, he could much more easily achieved between 1994 and 2005, when Somalia was literally a "no man's land ', without any centralized power and no strength to withstand Ethiopian army. However, it is a war between Ethiopia and Somalia? No, since the Ethiopian army entered into Somalia at the request of the Somali Transitional Government, which is the only authority recognized by the international community.

is a war in connotation religious between a country's pro-Western and Christian against another Muslim linked to the Arab and Islamic world? Should not be, because in reality the majority of Ethiopians are Muslims, as well as his army continues to rely on a predominantly Russian weapons, while the agreement with the United States is a recent phenomenon. It is essentially an illegal war waged in violation of international law? No, since the African Union has recognized the right of Ethiopia to defend its sovereignty threatened by the expansionist ambitions of the Islamic Courts that have revived the intention to create a "Greater Somalia" and that the United Nations itself have so far refrained from condemning the Ethiopian military action while calling for a political solution.

is a neo-colonial war to get their hands on oil or other natural resources? No, because both Somalia and Ethiopia are among the poorest countries in the world with a per capita income of 600 and $ 800 respectively. It is a new stage in the war against global Islamic terrorism by the U.S. through a third party? Yes and no, since worrying about the obvious collusion between the regime of Somali Islamic Courts and al Qaeda is not only Washington, masoprattutto the government in Addis Ababa who fears the contagion of extremism than others Islamic. It is the issue of Islamic terrorism that sees the key to the problem to understand the nature of the conflict soon erupted in the Horn of Africa. A situation that should have been obvious to us all when a recent UN report denounced the presence in Somalia of thousands of Islamic terrorists from Yemen, Eritrea, Syria and Libya, on 9 October when the Islamic Courts have declared Jihad , understood as "holy war" against Ethiopia, December 23 when they launched an appeal "to all the fighters of the Islamic world to take part in jihad in Somalia."

is why it becomes easy to predict that soon in Somalia will become a battlefield of global Islamic terrorism, a kind of new Iraq. Well, unless you imagine that the war in Somalia is a kind of cancer metastasis in Iraq, who have so far argued loudly that if it were not for American intervention in Iraq, Islamic terrorism would not be so disruptive anywhere in the world, should reconsider what appears more and more an act of faith undermined by injury rather than a reality supported by facts.

Just another Somali shows that global Islamist terrorism is far from being reactive, but the result of a deliberate aggressive strategy decided and implemented by powerful puppeteers for the express purpose of establishing an international Islamic Caliphate. Nor is this ominous prospect scongiurerà continuing to court, as they are making the European Union and the Arab League, the Islamic Courts to return to the negotiating table. But if they have been groped and fail to do a coup to eliminate the transitional Somali government in Baidoa perched! As risparmiamoci the ridiculous myth to dust off the UN, whose forces shamefully abandoned to the chaos in Somalia in 1995, continuing to imagine it as a magic wand to resolve the conflict. The truth is that there are no short cuts: if we want peace in Somalia, we have to confront the global threat of Islamic terrorism that has succeeded there, too, amid general indifference, to establish his own power.

Communism risen

Lino Siciliano - The victory of Venezuelan President Chavez is the latest, in time, confirms that the neo-communism is taking root, communism because a different pace with the times but with a strong, motivated.
the victory of Chavez responded enthusiastically President Ahmadinejad of Iran, President Morales of Bolivia, President Lula of Brazil, President Correa of \u200b\u200bEcuador and best wishes to Fidel that the new president often refers.
This is the tip of the iceberg, to understand the background must take a step back. The first term
Chavez has close relations with Islam in Iran is the greatest exponent as they have a common enemy 's "Bush's America" \u200b\u200band a close relationship with Castro, which has sent medical aid in exchange for oil and which is similar ideologically.
But this "neo-com" does not advocate the removal of the property, that the 'Soviet Union and China after the first proved impractical, but a "socialism of Venezuela and the Bolivarian Democrat, against imperialism." In other words
the class struggle remains, but made in a democratic and populist.

That this is so successful is demonstrated precisely Correa in Ecuador, Morales in Bolivia and Lula's party but with less marked but all tones with Bush, America and imperialism.
an ideological war that he found the bank in another part of the world also anti-American and anti-imperialist or radical Islam, a marriage between different ideologies but have a common understanding of the anti-Americanism.
In this scenario the most uncomfortable position is that on the one side there are pressures "neo-com" see in Italy, Germany and France on the other there is a strong Muslim immigration, and often radical that have transformed Europe into what American observers called Eurabia.
But while in South America but we have the first phenomenon is lacking, except for rare cases, the second, in Europe the two ideologies are in close contact when not conniving.
In Germany, the "grand coalition" there was not even send the "neo-com" by Lafontaine in power.
In France, problems of this type will have the next election.
But the most striking example has been in Italy where, notwithstanding a strong party is moderate, the government had exaggerated a drift to the left maximalist, as evidenced by the continual references to the fight class and events, attended by representatives of the majority, which hymned anti-Americanism and anti-imperialism and Islamic chanting in which marched against Israel and in which there were representatives of pacifism which is obviously only Part.
The union which was mentioned before, all in an embryonic stage, future developments will be in a near future of the neo-communists.

Discharge civil

Gianni Pardo - For sixty years, Europe is not involved in a war that concerns him personally. For a long time has therefore been thought that the war has been excluded from history. This has greatly influenced the warlike attitude of the Europeans. Even if you tried to make up for their failure with the development of military technology can not forget what he said an admiral a hundred years ago: "When I was young I had wooden ships and iron men; today ships were made of iron ... "
The failure of the military spirit - among the leading causes of the fall of the Roman Empire - was encouraged by governments, according to public opinion, have done nothing but cut funding for defense, the owner has been reduced, the lever has been abolished, and the army has become a decorative body that can drive up to ten thousand soldiers abroad and useful only for military parades. If tomorrow countries such as Germany or France had to face a war should start from scratch. Particularly with regard to men.
All this is known and it would be tragic if it was just military problems. Once a war breaks out, the military spirit learned in days rather than months. As he once told a Frenchman who had been sent to Algeria: "Parties to civil dispute, but when you see a buddy die next, you're ready to kill."

The problem is not only military. The most worrying phenomenon is a kind of resignation Civil. The Italians, for example that we know a lot, no longer feel or Christians or patriots or citizens. They do not feel even the Italians. Too despise Italy to accept to be part of a community. They do not believe that they will end prevail and indeed the best for not embarking on a strenuous competition prefer egalitarianism merit. The permanent job adventure of self-employment. They prefer the envy of the rich admiration for those who have enriched. They prefer short, the utopian left. But what is worse, they do not feel deserving of respect. Understand and approve the Muslim who claims its traditions and respect for his religion, but do not think even for a moment to defend their traditions: religion Italian and Italian way of life. If a Muslim wants - he came in for a guest and public buildings - that only a midwife, not an obstetrician, handle the birth of his wife, everyone is ready to justify it. The idea of \u200b\u200bsending him to the devil, and to answer hard-nosed, if not satisfied with the service can return to his home, did not come to anyone.

The crisis is not only military, in fact. It is a crisis of rationality. The absence of war has led to a derailment of the brain which is twisted out most of the evidence of the past. A time those who work deserve to hunger, today even those who do not want to work have more or less the same advantages as those who break their backs. Once a student who was not a donkey and was rejected, now the donkey is a young man in trouble on that bend thoughtful and caring teachers and psychologists, not to mention families. With the obvious conclusion that deserves encouragement, and that meanwhile it is appropriate to promote it. The examples are useless. It is in all directions that realism is no longer fashionable, and indeed society looks with disdain the unwary who dared to formulate conclusions.

This collective madness of Europe and North America does not belong to other continents. Other countries, perhaps because trained by hunger, the hardness of their customs and cultural development of their child, they retain strong connections with the more brutal reality. This, as well as keep them away from dementia, it gives them an unexpected ability to compete. They are willing to kill and to kill, Europe is not willing to kill even in self-defense. They are willing to speak out, even with absurd claims, Europe is not prepared to respond and if he does is apologize. Even the misery of poor countries instead of their daughter and their inability to produce excess births.
While most developed countries and in all civil retreat field, apologizing to exist, the other forward, justified by our own ideas. If the Israeli army enters Gaza to prevent rocket attacks against unarmed citizens and killed civilians in the fighting, Israel is to blame and no one mentions the fact that neither is acting in self defense. Nor is that while it searches for terrorists, the terrorists are trying to hit the innocent. Why all this? The answer is simple: Israel, as a civilization, it is Europe, not the Palestinians: So the Palestinians and Israel have reason, however, still wrong. Even when acting in self defense.

A similar decline of civilization is not cured with Europe or making speeches before a mirror. There a mirror big enough. But Europe will recover, all of a sudden, when the story - hopefully as late as possible - the plunge in need and risk of death. In that case, or find again the path of force and realism, or succumb to a new Odoacer, less civil than that deposed Romulus Augustus.

World hunger, the FAO strabismus

Livio Caputo - He is a regular event: this year, the annual report of the FAO invites us to sprinkle ashes on their heads because, Despite the commitments made in 1996 by 185 Heads of State and Government, we can not to reduce the number of people across the globe who suffer from hunger, 850 million were in the early nineties, 854 million today. The goal set to reduce them to 415 million in 2015, therefore, becomes increasingly unrealistic, because, according to the agency's director Jacques Diouf, "lacking the political will to mobilize more resources in the world has the benefit of the hungry." Other Third World worse, accusing Western governments collectively, multinational companies and various exploiters.
The persistence of almost a billion hungry people is undoubtedly a tragedy of enormous proportions, but it is unacceptable to attribute the responsibility of only the selfishness of rich countries. First, FAO would be well advised to look at home, because it has always been considered one of the UN agencies less efficient, n bandwagon bureaucracy that spends more than half of its resources for its administrative needs. Secondly, just look closely at the map accompanying the report, which showed clearly which countries have made progress and what steps back to see who the real culprits. We can cite at least four sensational cases, which suggests that the origin of evil is not so much the failure of international aid, as the folly of governments that squander their considerable resources, often without regard for the welfare of their citizens.
Example 1. The only condition South America that shows a "serious deterioration" that is, an increase in malnutrition exceeds 50%, Venezuela is the fourth largest producer of crude oil, which President Chavez is spending billions of petrodollars to build a global alliance against Washington and establish itself as the 'heir to Fidel Castro. If instead of distributing subsidies to half the world would invest this money in the fight against malnutrition, the problem resolves itself in Venezuela.
Example 2. In an Asia that, overall, progress is stunning, with a reduction in the number of hungry people by almost 50 percent in India, both in China, the evolution of North Korea was similar to that of Venezuela: a bit 'because of the total inefficiency of the communist system, a bit 'for the extravagant expenditure on the military culminated a few weeks ago in the first nuclear test, the number of hungry people has nearly doubled and made two million famine victims.
Even today, the population is highly dependent on food aid it receives from China and South Korea but the fault lies in our alleged greed in grant aid, or the dictator Kim Jong Il?
Example 3. When it was part of the British Empire, and in the fourteen years of independence under a government of the settlers, Zimbabwe was one of the major exporters of agricultural products in Africa and all had enough to eat. In 25 years, President Mugabe has ruined.
The main reason, if not unique, this dramatic decline is the expropriation and expulsion of white farmers. Result: malnutrition has increased by almost 50 per cent and the population is dependent on international charity.
Example 4. Sudan is potentially one of the richest countries in Africa, and now that he has also discovered oil, which has more substantial financial resources. But among the twenty-year civil war between the Arab north and black populations of the South (now finally resolved) and the recent tragedy in Darfur with its two million refugees, has increased dramatically its number of hungry people.
FAO rightly identifies the epicenter of the crisis in Africa, where the number of undernourished people in the past ten years is 169 to 206 million, but the fault is not so much the international community, as the frequency of wars, the irresponsibility of the government and also of the growing rejection of the people working the land, even groped for the adventure in Europe as illegal immigrants. It is absurd that, even with its deserts, its tropical forests, its invasions of locusts and its chronic drought, a vast continent like Africa is unable to feed its population. You spend money to introduce modern farming techniques, are used more, if necessary, the GM products, there will be increased to search for water, to reform the archaic law of land ownership, but it is recognized that first touches in the first place for the African population, and especially to African leaders, to meet the situation. Point the finger at Western governments (including, in the front row, Italy) who have not lived up to their promises of aid to allocate increasing percentages of their GDP is perhaps politically incorrect, but it provides a distorted picture of reality. For many countries where hunger is a problem, more money would lead, at present, only more corruption and even more weapons.

Invasion tax

of lupodellasteppa - E 'small consolation to have well-known for some time that once the government, the left would bring a powerful lunge on taxes.

Preceded by a relentless barrage on the accounts of the disaster left by the previous government, seasoned with a healthy dose of hypocrisy on the so-called social justice, accompanied by a malicious propaganda on the rich forty thousand euro gross per year and the disclosure un'insinuante tax returns of traders, artisans and professionals, financial maneuver will result to take from the pockets of all taxpayers, a huge amount of cash for a the third will serve to bring the Italian finances in European standards, but two-thirds will be used to make "political".

Which means not only giving benefits to friends, to preserve the 'sanctity of certain sanctuaries, who enjoys support even more advantageous position, company and cooperative foraging close to the left, but above all means to push the Italian company still further, to what already is now, as a model, even if only barely sketched, liberal and free market system.

Proof of this is the way of morals, the limit of bigotry, the limit of justicialism legalistic, with which many on the left, starting with the Minister for Economic Affairs, dealing with the problem of tax evasion. It 'clear that, as the level of taxation is required by law, the escape is "per se" illegal.

Sheriff of Nottingham was the name of law and legality raided the assets of poor farmers, herders, artisans and traders in the county.

The point, therefore, is not about "legality" of taxation. It is his "morality" which is trademarked by whom the tax in ethical terms, but its reasonableness and compatibility with the freedoms of citizens. In Italy the level

tax exceeds between direct and indirect taxes, half of what we earn through our work, study, talent, passion for the enterprise and the courage to risk their assets, few or many others, to create new wealth.

The state claims the right to seize more than half and in turn distributes services.

Now it is clear that some of these can, indeed must, be carried out by a modern state, such as internal and external security, justice, infrastructure useful to the community and the national economy.

Neither discusses the principle of progressive taxation so that those who earn more than must pay, not just an abstract principle of solidarity, but also for practical reasons.

Excluding these two cornerstones, we ask: what is the reasonable level of taxation, which is compatible with the development of private enterprise, the only one that really creates new wealth, and the right of citizens to freely dispose of their substances.

To answer the first question would be sufficient to look at those states with economies similar to quell'italiana and who were able, through intelligent tax policy, to boost the development of their countries and not vampire resources.

As to the compatibility between taxation and liberty of citizens is clear that the level of taxation becomes prevaricatorio when the state takes away the right to freely dispose of our money to force us to send our children to "their" schools and universities, cure us in "his" at hospitals or physicians' confidence in its "with the drugs that has chosen to fly with" his "flag carrier, watching" his "television, travel on" his "train, use of" his "structures of social assistance and social security. All things "his", but paid for with "our" money.

Even if the level of these services was good or even excellent, which is not microscopically, the result is a distorting effect on the economy of the country and, more importantly, the heavy oppression of individual liberties.

of slavery in America, when a black man needed a pair of shoes for her son, a dress or whatever, ran from his "master" which provided as needed.

This, we believe, is the essence of slavery: to remove the individual, the right to freely dispose of what has been brought to their work, to impose their own choices.

And this is the model of society to which Italy is sinking more and more, which bears more resemblance to those societies in which each option, including those related to the private sphere, are assumed to be political and technocratic elite and the citizen is little more, not less, than a slave irresponsible.
