Helping people by force in an uprising to overthrow the tyrant? The first answer is yes of course and without hesitation, in international law. But, then, Libya is not a unique case: the dictatorships face of the earth is not counted on the fingers, from Belarus to Kazakhstan, our friends, from North Korea to Zimbabwe, Iran or Saudi Arabia, a whole panoply of absolute regimes, feudal, theocratic, veteran or post-communist . And, then, that the West takes time for human rights should not be reduced to the question whether to give the final blow to the arms of the tyrant who sways, not even much know who is helping, if a people thirsting for freedom or a congregation or a clique of fundamentalist rivals of the despot. The West, and especially with regard to Libya 'Italy, would have to avoid decades of complicity and connivance, in the sign business and interest, passed off in the value of stability. We have done too many times: 1956 Budapest insurgents are still waiting in their graves aid promised. But that was the World of Yalta, this is the Mediterranean cradle of many civilizations that Gaddafi and his accomplices, wherever they are, deny them all.
