Wonder is a gift of the Italians. Surprise in the face of the unthinkable, but only because no one had wanted to think about it, is a national characteristic. Down with Gaddafi, the bloody Bedouin dictator, the one who has committed genocide against his people, the slaughterer of thousands of innocent Libyans. Yes, OK, but no one has ever said anything to Scaroni’s ENI, to Agnelli’s Juventus, to Romiti’s Impregilo, to Finmeccanica or to Unicredit belonging to whoknowswhosepapi? Did Mother not inform them before they got married to Gaddafi? Italian companies with enormous interests in Libya and with shares held directly by the Country responsible for the Lockerbie bombing. Lockerbie, the town in Scotland where 259 people from the Pan Am flight died together with 11 people from the town. The bloodiest act of terrorism before the Twin Towers? In the forty years, has anyone raised a finger against the one who stripped of all their assets and booted out like dogs, from one day to the next, the Italians who had been living in Libya for decades? In fact, what happened was the exact opposite. Gaddafi has been protected, revered, and welcomed as the guarantor of Italy’s mythical Fourth Shore. It’s no secret that his military air force was trained in Italy and that our Secret Services have on more than one occasion given them warnings of threats and bombings. It is said that he escaped death during the bombing ordered by Reagan thanks to Italian informers. Gaddafi is one of us, whether we want it or not, whether we accept it or not. That Berlusconi kissed his hands is just the latest episode, the most blatant and undignified for the Italians, of a relationship that has lasted decades. Gaddafi saved Fiat with his capital in the 1970s. No one was outraged. We have bartered oil with arms and military assistance, energy with the lost of modesty of our democracy. And now, rightly we are outraged. The wonder belongs to the children and to the hypocrites. Italy is the land of Wonder and of Hypocrisy. Gaddafi has declared that he will stay until he dies. Italy loses one of its faithful allies that it has already renounced. Gaddafi? Who knows him?
