The opening of dialogue with the Muslim world is an opportunity to remind the Western powers the ABC of their founding values. Above Italy, recently downgraded to a partly free country, renamed "Berlusconistan" by Time magazine and accused of racial laws reintroduced . "Democracy, rule of law, respect for the law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion are not simply principles Western, but universal principles, that they can embrace. "In an interview the day before yesterday to Justin Webb for BBC and revived today by Republic, Obama refers to the Muslim world, which will address tomorrow expected from a Cairo speech of reconciliation, trusting in the symbolic power of its hybrid identity and its Muslim origin. But if by "they" intend the Italians, the claim would not bat an eyelid. The list of Western values \u200b\u200bit seems designed to speak at the same time, the Middle East and the Western powers in the area include above all Italy, that international public opinion is showing increasing signs of a dangerous betrayal these values, in favor of attitudes not unlike those of Oriental despotism.
only partly in the freedom of the press - which, according to Freedom House precisely akin Italy to countries like Egypt and Turkey, human rights violations - the practice of rejections criticized by the European Court of Human Rights' man and a return to racial laws Famiglia Cristiana denounced by ; establishment of an autocratic regime and personalistic attack daily with the division of state power - held up internationally, among others, El Pais ; performance unpunished nepotistic practices, patronage and corrupt, happily entwined in a male-commercialization of female sexuality - that allowed the Time to rename Italy Berlusconistan and all 'Independent to talk about fascism, of sultan and harem. Italy is the portrait that Obama can not remember, overlooking the shores of Mare Nostrum , where the Peninsula has always been an outpost of Western civilization.
Obama is the president of an America that, after eight years of the war on terrorism, he was noticed to have lost itself in the perverse game of mirrors, led by hatred and fear, which can turn a fighter ' alter-ego enemy. Now America seems to have wised up, but the Italian suburbs of the Empire remained a prisoner of the maze of illusions. The hatred of the "illegal" has projected a horde of the affected government. The fear of the Islamic headscarf, a symbol of old-fashioned patriarchy, installed at the center of a scene patriarchal harem nude. Racism has turned the "good people" in a vile race, to which foreign governments are reluctant to grant, in the elections, its support in economic affairs. The contempt for the poor and workers, resulting in lower wages for years, has undermined domestic demand, and sinks every day more and more middle class in the conditions of misery that perhaps yesterday derision.
E 'dizzying self-destructive spiral, just badly disguised censorship, one that Berlusconi has introduced in Italy. Inappuntabilmente, the Financial Times portrays Berlusconi as "a danger primarily to Italy, and a bad example for everyone." Stabilize the Middle East today involves putting a stop to this vertigo. Obama's speech in Cairo will be pronounced because it intends to Rome.
