The terrorists demanded a demonstration against the italian and US governments. A demonstration to obtain the retirement of italian army from Iraq.
Actually, those families and ppl are asking for peace and the release of the hostages. Among them there were even leftist politicians but not even a word has been said against the troops or governments.
I can understand there is a *subtle* difference between demonstrating for peace/sons and for terrorism. But indeed there is. And it is very important. I'm sure you can understand it. Hmmm, can you ... ? Wait, yes, maybe understanding differences is difficult.
For example, there are differences between fighting communism and:
- supporting the butcher fascist Pinochet,
- supporting other central/south american dictatorships,
- supporting the young Saddam Hussein,
- supporting the young Bin Laden,
- supporting the bloody Saudi Arabia,
- supporting and financing thousands of bloody covert ops in South America and South east Asia.
- ......
For example, there are contraddictions between being the mighty defender of world's liberty and:
- support Putin in Cecenia slaughter,
- close both eyes in front of Kurds slaughter,
- blindly support and finance Israel in his colonial policy,
- ......
"Same old Europe" understands these subtle differences and apparent contraddictions and still supports USA. Can you please understand us? Please ...
