jump caps in North Africa and the Arab world, perhaps from the Mediterranean to the Gulf. Jump caps of dictators and autocrats in the West, not only Italy, was short-sighted friend to the end, because it protected him from the risks of terrorism and fundamentalism and guaranteed energy supplies. And here we are now more than ever Maramaldo celebrating fall, even
the overthrow by the people, by Ben Ali first, then Mubarak, Gaddafi today, tomorrow, who knows, the same people who, until the day before their misfortune, we had received with many honors in our buildings, we had left to plant the tents in our public gardens and teaching catechism to our 'virgin'. With consummate hypocrisy, the Western governments declare their unanimous satisfaction, international organizations provide emergency assistance and cooperation programs. However, skipped the caps and immediately we worry about what will happen now: fundamentalism in power?, Waves of terrorism ', or, less bloody, but more likely, waves of migrants to our shores? And while there is nostalgia for the step: another, as there seems to be successful in Egypt, where Mubarak is gone, but where the army has the situation in hand-and we'll see if and how it will come in the presidential-September, and how, however, not yet succeeded in Tunisia, where the transition is not was complete and where the ferment of dissatisfaction remain. And Libya? There, the uncertainty is total, but we are already saying that the country's territorial integrity must be maintained that Cyrenaica and Tripolitania should be together, as if Libya had not statehood history and, instead, a patchwork tribal past from Ottoman rule to the Italian colonization, found only in post-war independence. And then, if the Our Europe of nation states, we have done in a flash one, the USSR, 15, and then, so perhaps more troubled than one, the former Yugoslavia, seven, because on the south bank of the same sea, and until recently Yugoslavia today Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, could not rise to two States where there was one? Will leave them to decide what they want to do and if they are together.
