revolution North Africa overwhelms ultraquarantennale Libya and its leader Gaddafi. The news coming from the North African country, fragmented and one source that was not the subject of censorship regime, Al Jazeera, speak of a massacre of unprecedented violence and repression. The use of aviation against protesters Tripoli would have produced more than a thousand dead. The North African revolution does not stop, and sweeps away even that which was regarded as one of the systems more stable, thanks to the dividend yield oil and energy, which made Libya one of the countries with macroeconomic and income among the highest in the continent African area. This figure is not enough to placate the anger, especially youth, who has gone beyond the rebel Benghazi Cyrenaica and to arrive in the heart of the power of the regime of Gaddafi, Tripoli. The crisis and neoliberal reforms, however, also applied by Libya in recent years, along with the concentration in the hands of the clan close to the Colonel of a large part of wealth, have created large pockets of discontent and anger. Anger combined with questions of freedom and hope oppressive police car, censorship and the grotesque idea of \u200b\u200bdynastic succession of the now senior leaders who also stars as the young generation in Libya. In his desperate and criminal attempt to retain power at all costs, Gaddafi is playing the last card of its political history. Against his own people and against all sense of humanity. A desperate and useless paper that will not save his regime and his proposal to continue the dynastic power. A card whose outcome would be to plunge the country into a catastrophic civil war by the outcome. Already pieces military and diplomacy have joined the protests and riots. Although it is complex to predict the evolution of the Arab revolution, remember how other countries will be infected, such as Morocco, Yemen, Bahrain, we believe that even if the transition will be managed by the armed forces, and that in the short period they will ensure continuity at least in formal geopolitical position of the southern countries of the Mediterranean, the social movements that exploded will have lasting consequences, will open change scenarios that were unthinkable a few years ago. The whole Middle East will emerge under redrawn. The hypocrisy and double standards policy and the two measures applied by imperialism and the West in recent years will have a short life. We have already written about Tunisia and Egypt, we repeat today. Nothing will go on as before. The awakening of the Arab masses is a historic step, comparable, as written by Valli on the Republic, to what happened in 1848 in Europe. Europe, the present one, whose responsibilities are great in recent years in having scuppered the hypothesis € Mediterranean was being a mere spectator or executor of the will of Washington, and in having restricted his political action liberalization of the markets and securing energy resources, maintaining power, with the excuse of the Islamic threat, indefensible regimes that have suppressed, it is worth remembering, even all progressive, democratic and communist ones among them, in those countries. Now she is totally unprepared in front of the consequences that the changes being made will. but should dwell on what Italy has done and said in recent days. The carnage that the armed forces loyal to the regime of Colonel Gaddafi of Libya are engaging in political accomplices obvious: Silvio Berlusconi and his zealous spokesman for Foreign Minister Franco Frattini. Their convictions are later now of little use. Their silence before, the hallucinatory and shameful statements of support during the outbreak of the uprising and bloody repression, will be among the most shameful pages of the sad story of Berlusconi and his last days we see. Gaddafi and Berlusconi did not bother massacred his people, because he fears that what now overwhelms her friends in the south of the Mediterranean, may soon overwhelm even him and put an end to his dreary political season.
