Too much hypocrisy for one country ...
FROM THE WEST
The trial of five American soldiers from the 101 / Airborne Division in the rape and murder of Abeer Qassim Hamza al Janabi, Iraqi girl is 14 years old - and the killing of her family.
The facts were disclosed by the testimony of Pfc James Barker and Sergeant Paul Cortez, who agreed to cooperate declaring his guilt in exchange for the guarantee of avoid the death penalty. (Call them idiots! .. I say this, not the West.)
March 12, 2006, in one of the camps in the U.S. and around Baghdad, Barker is playing cards with his buddy, Pfc Steven Green. To switch time, to relieve tension and to revive the fatigue of long hours at checkpoints in the oppressive heat, they send down whiskey mixed with an energy drink. Among gi jokes and jokes in bad taste, it makes the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving sex with an Iraqi girl, launched a little 'to goliardaggine and a bit' to swagger by Green - a classic bad element, 21, came in ' still a minor army to escape a conviction for alcohol consumption, and later taken over by his superiors for drug use and, again, for alcohol abuse. They were joined by Sergeant Paul Cortez, 24, and the soldiers of the first class Jesse Spielman, 22, and Bryan Howard, 19. Barker and Green had planned all: a family in Mahmudiya, a small village about thirty kilometers from Baghdad. The girl is really little more than a child, but only one man in the house, the father, to protect his wife and daughters. also easy to find a pretext for the expedition: track suspected terrorists.
The five burst in the home. Green and Cortez drag the family into the bedroom, leaving Green guard, Cortez returned to stay with friends from the larger of the two daughters, Abeer, and rapes her. Then comes the turn of Barker. Suddenly, the shooting: "I've killed," said Green entered the living room, without expression, "are all dead." Barker hurries to finish with Abeer. Then comes the turn of Green. Spielman and Howard are the first guard, then participating in the rape. Meanwhile, Green began to pour kerosene on the bodies, the soldiers are laying the wearing of uniform and clean. Even the AK-47 with which Green shot will be made to disappear in a gutter, not far away. The fact remains that every passing instant, the young Abeer-terrified and crying - is becoming less a plaything, and increasingly dangerous. Green tip of the gun to his temple and fired, once, twice, thrice. Green kindle the fire that would soon erase almost all other remains of this inhuman tragedy.
Now the soldiers facing court martial in the process. All but Steven Green, the Army (not yet aware) then dismissed for "personality disorders". Despite the testimony of his fellow soldiers who point as the initiator of the crime, Green insists on proclaiming himself innocent. James Barker has already been sentenced to 90 years in prison for murder and rape, to be served in a military prison, confessed in tears, saying he does not even feel worthy to ask forgiveness of the court. Cortez, has also shown remorse in recalling the facts, while taking into consideration his cooperation, it was nevertheless sentenced to 100 years' probation, with the prohibition of appeals before 10 years. The most recent - but not the last - ruling is that of Jesse Spielman, issued Aug. 5, the sentence for Spillman is 110 years for murder and rape, and also d labors to wait at least 10 years before applying for parole . It awaits the conclusion of the trial for Howard, and especially the verdict for Green, who having been expelled from the army will be judged by a civil court, risking the death penalty .
... upset?? BEH resisting because 'not all! REPUBLIC OF
ROME - not killed anyone, nor is the accomplice of a murder, but Kenneth Foster August 30, 30, will be executed. The sentence has implemented a law in force only in Texas, according to which a person is responsible for a crime committed by others if he acted with the intent to promote or assist the completion of this crime. " Foster was driving the car which was used in the flight of Maurice Brown, the perpetrator of a robbery that degenerated into murder, and executed for this crime a few years ago.
Brown attempted to rob a young man, but something went wrong, opened fire and killed him. All the time that Foster, according to Brown's own testimony and that of the other person was in the car, did not move from his seat. Also unaware of the intentions of his friend.
But the young father of slain lawyer very skilled and the most famous of San Antonio, was able to prove that Foster had planned the murder along with Brown, and that was enough to get the death sentence given that, as claimed by many activists against the death penalty have followed the case in Italy, the offender is black, poor, comes from a very dysfunctional family and was not able to pay enough lawyers with disabilities.
Many events and public opinion campaigns have been promoted in his favor, the United States and recently also in Italy. There are several sites, in English, Italian, French and German in which you can find the form to send an appeal to the governor of Texas, which so far has proved deaf to these stresses. After all, Texas, emphasized the same newspapers, is the leader for the strict implementation of laws on the death penalty. According to the U.S. site Associated Content, among other things, there are between 80 and 100 convicts awaiting execution, who were convicted without killing anyone. Those situations are similar to those of Foster, falls under the 'law of parties'.
REASONS AND NOW!
Five soldiers raping and killing a fourteen year old and his family and ten years can ask for parole (and knowing how these things go, most likely will get).
A boy of 19 years driving a car, stay in the car while his friend commits murder, and ten days will be killed.
Something is terribly sick in this system.
The death penalty is wrong. Always and for all. E 'mistaken for a Saddam Hussein, for Benito Mussolini, for a Tito or Stalin ... I would even for a George W. Bush (scandalized by the juxtaposition? Just because Bush has painted the American rifles with the colors of the rainbow, and which has the slapped on a label that says "peace" does not mean that less of the murderess more ... or just because Guantanamo is not as famous as the gulag or concentration camps, does not mean it will not end in the history books one day as the cradle of atrocities and torture ...).
I would not do, however, the moral is easy ... easy to say that it is against the death penalty is not less likely to desire the death of those who robbed us for ever a person we love. So I would not condemn the father who believes that revenge is the solution to his pain. I do not know whether or not revenge is the solution.
But a state is not revenge ... and if he does pergiunta discriminating, then not only is a state unfair, but it is also hypocritical ... and then it deserves all the scorn and condemnation of this World.
I'm not saying that these soldiers should be sentenced to death.
The State gives life and therefore can not claim the right removing it. The State regulates the freedom of citizens. And it is the only thing that thing that can steal.
The absurdity, irrationality and unreality of what is happening in Foster seems so obvious that it is perhaps superfluous Fersini comment.
But if all this were so obvious, then the death sentence would not have been issued.
Foster was wrong, no one puts in dubbio.poteva choose. had to make that step. could stop his friend. was wrong and has to pay. But even if we accept for a moment that you have to pay a life with the life, well ... he did not kill.
How can a single just been having so much hypocrisy in itself?? Those soldiers have raped, killed, burned bodies and continue, as is' OK, to live, paying with their freedom to the crime. Foster, as unfortunately is likely to be, to die '.
But this is America, Ladies and Gentlemen ... it is the state of contradiction. And 'the state that laughs at himself, what is symbolized by the Statue of Liberty' and that freedom destroys it, he writes his peace with the blood, the superpower that everything is permitted.
It 's true ... in Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, China and many (too many) other countries in the world, there is the death penalty. But those countries, at least, are not meant to be hypocritical holders Absolute Freedom ', peace, equality, GIUSTIZIA.Gli U.S. ARE NOT A COUNTRY FREE, NOT A COUNTRY THAT APPLIES TO ENSURE THAT 'THERE IS PEACE, NOT A COUNTRY WHERE ARE ALL THE SAME AND SO ARE NOT A COUNTRY FAIR.
I am not just like it does not include Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, China ... but claim to be ... and they expect us to believe it.
not stand it.

QUOTA.400 Prodi not to the people a day die of AIDS
The news is a few months ago, but deserves to be posted late because even if, I repeat, the information is not age either party.
With Gohan. Complain to the Cini
House. Agnoletto: "It was better the CDL"
If Italy would pay the promised contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and malaria every day could be save the lives of 443 people. But the current government has not yet allocated 260 million planned for 2006-2007.
To remember, yesterday the Cini (Italian Coordination Network International, composed by ActionAid International, AMREF, Save the Children, Terre des Hommes, Vis and WWF) and the Associazione Culturale Punto Rosso, exposed in front of Deputies 443 pairs of shoes, in the closing days of the meeting of the Board of the Fund in Geneva.
"very important initiative - said Father Alex Zanotelli, present at the defense - to launch a plea to the government to immediately pay the amount promised. Why not allocate money for the Fund means the death of millions of people. I be recalled that about 42 million people with AIDS, 30 million live in Africa, where because of poverty and lack of access to medicines to be suffering from this illness is to die within a few years. And condemn to death those people is a crime against humanity ".
for MEP of the PRC-EL Vittorio Agnoletto" The Prodi government has a memory lapse on the funds for AIDS but not on military expenditures continue to increase. The Global Fund is one of the main tools for the global South is to achieve the millennium goals to fight poverty and disease set by the United Nations. Unfortunately, until now, the Prodi government is acting on this worse than the previous government, which had paid at least 80 per cent share of the Italian. "
The NGO participants in the 'initiative, represented by Raffaele Salinari spokesman Cini, have launched a last appeal to the executive:" We demand consistency between commitments and amounts to be allocated. Report with concern the evidence that, while military commitments, also recruited by the previous government, will be respected, commitments to international solidarity is unfulfilled. "

Berlin Wall 46 years later, snippets of truth ...
to 46 years after construction of the Berlin Wall, the discovery of a document in the archives of the Stasi sheds new light on the responsibilities of the death of (Estimated) 1100 desperate that they tried to cross the border of concrete that separated the two cities.
The leaders of East Germany at that time have always denied having given orders to shoot civilians.
But now here is proof: The paper specifically told by the soldiers to shoot anyone who tried to climb over the wall, including women and children. Guenter
Nook, commissioner of the German Government to human rights, said: "Those who ruled the GDR not only allow serious violations of human rights, but ordered to be committed. What would happen if such order appeared in documents of other countries? Violations Today usually arrive before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. "

Pacifinti attack!
"The Union is committed to transparency and that there are more binding than the provisions that prevent the sale of arms to countries that violate human rights or who are placed in areas of conflict and to support the adoption within the UN of an international Arms Trade Treaty "
And 'one of the (many, too many) sentences of the electoral program of the Union that has made us believe that, after the government warmongering, pro-American, and the dwarf bushdipendente , things would change, and then "Peace" would have ceased to be just a white image on a rainbow flag.
We were wrong ... as big on the other hand for many other things ..
know .. I begin to think that when the dwarf gave the co .... ni voters to the left, maybe had a point !(... No, I have begun to sympathize with the nano! I read .. somewhere that the left-wing government won the elections because the co comununqe .... ni have fewer heads c. .. o. .. But back to serious)
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS WHICH PREVENT THE SALE OF WEAPONS IN countries that violate human rights ... clear enough concept right? There is no danger of misunderstanding.
fresh fresh data in hand then! In 2006 Italy exported military equipment to more than two billion Euro (2005: one billion 300 million).
A question arises ... who?
-Nigeria: € 74 million for arms, aircraft and heavy weapons, it seems that the country has been ravaged by civil war between the government and MEND, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, a particular seems completely irrelevant.
-India (spend 66 million) and Pakistan (39.7 million orders).
Again ... who cares if the two countries half a century fighting for control of Kashmir and is threatening to the sound of nuclear missiles??
At our pacifist left-wing government of course not! He has other things to think ..
-Colombia: 300 thousand victims of the conflict between the regular army and the revolutionary forces ... and the ranks of both are child soldiers.
-and yet ... United Arab Emirates ( € 338 million), Oman (78.6 million), Venezuela (16), Malaysia (51), Libya (14.9) and Peru (26.8).
And finally, the icing on the cake-last but not least as the English say-CHINA!
And here is a bit 'in recent history to better understand the issue, is a must!
The international embargoes that the European Union still maintains eight: against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the regime of Myanmar, the rebels of Sierra Leone and Congo, Sudan, and Mugabe's dictatorship , in fact, in China.
The Asian country has, however, branded the embarco as a simple legacy of the Cold War "rather than, as it is, direct consequence of the continuous and systematic violations of human rights.
Needless to say how much it weights the Beijing government, which demoted to Serie B despite the country is part of the National Council of the UN, it obviously requires the cancellation.
So here, even before the EU takes even consider that possibility, which strives Prodi and sells arms to China.
Moreover in September 2006 had already endorsed the positions of Beijing arguing that "the embargo looks to the past and the present" everything is perfectly in line with the policy of the nano, which in 2003 called the ban "anachronistic" and (as was his custom to do when something goes down or not he is acting funny) Also in 2003, has removed a law (the 185, 90) removing the need to accompany the supplies to end-use certificate designed to prevent triangulation: that is, in other words, I sell them to you but you do not know to those who sell.
And since when it comes to damage, right and left are always in agreement, it was San Massimo D'Alema (as he says Benigni) in 2000 to lead the way by initiating changes to the law then approved by the center.
Here then, surprise surprise, are found in Iraq in 2005 44 thousand Beretta pistols in the possession of the rebel forces, owned by our office.
repeat in case you missed it! IRAQ: the country where six years ago we went to war to bring peace. Have sold them weapons. Or rather, that the Berlusconi government that does not disobey his master Bush has sent our country into a war with neither art nor part (like all wars for that matter) ... has armed the enemy who had to fight.
has a logic ALL THIS?? Well
sì.Ce does. And 'the logic of the God of Money. E 'for those 7.5 billion the year that the export of arms Italian workmanship, is for all those banks that are shoveling money through the trafficking of arms: San Paolo-Imi, 446 million in 2006 (nearly 30 % of transactions), BNP-Paribas, (290,500,000), Unicredit (86.7), BNL (80.3), Deutsche Bank (78.3) and Banco Brescia, which will handle more than 70 million .. is that sixth place in the world exporters of military weapons that just do not know WAIVED.
Yeah. So what if this same c'haveva government promised that things would change ... who cares if when there was gorverno Berlusconi, left only to hear the word "war" we would have lost the white hair?
's where they took us to a little over a year of false promises pacifinti sinistrodi: a 61% increase in exports of war, at the base in Vicenza, with other soldiers in Lebanon ... and yet I wonder where?
