Chavez Will Regret Soon What He would Like to Do Now

Colombia’s President Alvaro Uribe has an idea no other demoratic leader ever had so far: bringing Venezuelan madman Hugo Chavez to justice, just as the latter is gearing up for a aggression war on the sovereign and democratic state of Colombia. But, given the place Uribe would like him to be brought, I very much doubt mini-me would be indicted. Anyhow, kudos to Presidente Alvaro!

Case Against Mario Lozano Thrown Out; Italians Seethe

Imagine for one moment that Mario Lozano was serving, say, the Cuban or Chinese Army. Italians would side with him. But Mario – an Italian-American – is guilty with serving the US army and doing his duty: trying to defend himself from terrorists. And, because of the Italians’ imprudence and disrespect for well-known rules of war they should have known at the time, he mistakenly killed a SISMI agent. But, Italians don’t give a damn about the real reasons for which that infamous incident occurred. To them, if you’re a US soldier, you are already guilty, no matter what. This blog congratulates with the court that thrown the case out and wishes Mario a long life in health and prosperity.

Remembering the Unforgettable

Another excellent piece from Amil Imani, for The American Thinker: Remembering the Unforgettable

6 Years, and We Have Forgotten

This very picture should remind us why we need to adopt an unilateralist strategy against terror and why we can do better off without the European ‘collaboration’, which during these 6 years contributed to worsen the situation. If we want to win, we must put mercy aside, and fight, fight and fight. But I no longer think President Bush has the guts to continue the job. Someone else should take the lead. A Giuliani or a Gingrich. If the latter decides to join the race, it remains to be seen and I hope he will, as the status quo can no longer be accepted. We can win, if we want to.

Germany Waking Up (Sort of)

I’m still convinced that Europe’s cultural and moral decline is imminent, as well as its already impending Islamization. However, there seems to be a gleam of sanity from Germany, as they weigh monitoring stricly their Muslim community, including recent converts. Will they really do it? It remains to be seen.

Magdi Allam is right: a majority of mosques are used to recruit potential jihadis. Three Moroccans have been arrested for running a terror school at a small mosque in the central Italy city of Perugia. But don’t hold your breath, as they will be walking free again in a few months.

The Fight Against Genital Mutilation Must Go On

A bit of good news from Norway, where authorities are taking action against female genital mutilation, a form of torture very common among the immigrants communities in Europe and tolerated for years in the name of multiculturalism. 250 mutilated women are being treated at an Oslo’s hospital. In Egypt, a 12-year old girl died after being butchered in this way. Hundreds of girls die because of this genital mutilation.

It’s an interesting place to be as America celebrates its independence. It’s also a unique vantage point from which to view the narrowly averted attacks in London and Glasgow.

The events that transpired in the United Kingdom last week are just further proof that America and our allies have enemies in the world, and these enemies intend to kill us.

HAMASTAN,MESSAGE TO ISRAEL,UNIFIL LETS HIZBALLAH REARM AND MORE

Palestinians pick up what they sowed. Welcome to the Islamist state of Hamas . The Palestinians, a death cult, violent and war-mongering society, could just realize how wrong they were when they murdered Jews to force Israel out of Gaza. And they could start asking Israel to return. On the one side, Israel’s Olmert administration caved in and left Gaza, ignoring the consequences for Israel and the region as a whole. Its far from being a victory for Israel; Gaza is going to be an Al-Qaeda state. Israel should have never handed over Gaza to the Palestinians. The int.l community is desperately looking for a solution. Theirs are crocodile tears. After all, it’s them who pressed Israel to leave the place. Now what? Hard to say. It’s a civil war, but the world community would do good not to send in the ‘peacekeepers’. Let the Palestinians slaughter each other. Yes, that’s what they do best. That’s their raison d’etre. Don’t send our men in uniform to risk their life to save who loves death over life and war over peaceful coexistance. Also, as Magdi Allam says, this situation proves that there will never be a Palestinian state. Because it’s the Palestinians themselves who never wanted it. All they want is the destruction of Israel. And let me say something: I fear for Israel. I fear for her, because I feel as if they are committing suicide. An Islamist state at her doors will only speed up her destruction. Unless Israel elects credible leaders with guts, its end is inevitable. I pray for Israel and for it to wake up sooner than later. You can’t make peace or concessions, let alone talk with who wants to destroy you. You have to act. Wake up, Israel, pls. Re-occupy Gaza. Use your military might. Destroy Hamas, Fatah and the Islamic Jihad. Plug your ears in order not to hear the international community that led to this situation. Enter Gaza to stay. But don’t do it for the Palestinians. Do it for your survival. And to the world: don’t send in men to die for a death cult society. Rather, send them where they’re urgently needed: Darfur. Because there is where people cannot wait too long.

A woman was killed by a rocket and Israel did its duty by fighting back and targetting Qassam cells. According to the Italian FM, Israel should simply sit back and stand idly by while the Nazis massacre the Jews. Here’s a short videoclip showing a Qassam rocket falling right next to a Sderot gas station.

Before making a hero of someone, let us think twice. Moral Equivalenc Alert: Pope compares Marxism (that is, communism) with Capitalism (that is, liberal democracy and free markets, the onlyt system that protects the individual’s political, social and economic freedoms.

Bella riflessione quella di Enzo di 1972, della quale condivido tutto. Che i liberali in Italia non esistano, è un dato di fatto. Premetto che della politica italiana non mi interesso granchè, mentre sono più concentrata su quella americana, dato che gli Usa saranno presto il mio nuovo paese d’accoglienza. Sono di destra, ma ritengo che la vera destra è liberale. Il che significa che se sono contro gli integralisti islamici, non posso appoggiare gli integralisti religiosi anche cattolici che vorrebbero limitare le scelte individuali di ogni essere umano. Si può essere d’accordo o meno con il riconoscimento giuridico delle coppie di fatto e delle convivenze (io sono d’accordo), ma anche chi non è d’accordo e preferisce sposarsi, non può e non ha il diritto di proibire agli altri di convivere. Al giorno d’oggi la Chiesa ha contribuito ad allontanare i credenti per via delle sue posizioni integraliste su aborto, unioni civili, convivenze ,eccetera. Difendo la convinvenza perchè la convinvenza permette all coppia di conoscersi meglio e di sposarsi solo se si è sicuri. Si dice che tanto si può divorziare.Il divorzio la Chiesa lo ha avversato per molto tempo. E’ così facile divorziare, dovendo andare in giro per tribunali ed avvocati? I figli soffrono molo per la separazione dei genitori. Fosse per me, io conviverei tutta la vita, sarà perchè sono atea e non credo nel sacramento del matrimonio. Ma ritengo che chi decide di convivere debba avere GLI STESSI DIRITTI di chi è sposato. E ciò vale anche per le coppie omosessuali. Non sto dicendo che debbano avere più diritti, perchè io sono la prima a non volerlo. Ma gli stessi diritti, questo sì. Non sono a favore del matrimonio tra omosessuali, nè all’adozione dei bambini. Ma sulle unioni civili sono d’accordo. Visto che difendiamo tanto la famiglia e siamo per il matrimonio religioso, cerchiamo anche di dire alla nostra classe dirigente che se oggi non ci si sposa, è anche perchè non si hanno le possibilità economiche di farlo. Da una parte abbiamo gli ipocriti che vanno al Family Day, ma allo stesso tempo sono loro stessi divorziati, e fidanzati con ragazze giovani (vedasi Casini) oppure tradiscono la moglie e si portano un’harem di donne (come Berlusconi). Dall’altra abbiamo chi rivendica orgogli laici dimenticandosi che siamo comunque un paese laico e vede pericoli laddove non ce ne sono, mentre dimentica che al giorno d’oggi le questioni davvero importanti sono la difesa dell’Occidente dall’aggressione islamica che sta avvenendo mentre noi si parla di DICO. Inoltre, prima di essere papisti a tutti i costi, ricordiamoci che il Papa ha accolto a braccia aperte il macellaio islamico Mohammed Khatami, mentre a chi si permette di criticare le sue posizioni integraliste sulle questioni etiche, lo bolla come “terrorista”. Invece, per il Papa terrorista Khatami non lo è, vero? E’ una riflessione serena, non anti-clericale, perchè non sono anti-clericale. Semplicemente sono di una destra libeale che, come diceva Popper, non può non essere a favore dei diritti dell’individuo a fare ciò che vuole a patto che ciò non violi i diritti di terze persone.
