Parts Of The House To Lable

Viva l'esercito..di plastica

[Article from Island Krino ]

In the debate that accompanies this budget we hear only the voices of those who complain he wants more money, ie practically all families, entrepreneurs, artisans, trade unions, local authorities, government, railways, hospitals, and so on ... all of Italy is very sensitive to the money that they are removed, and rightly so. It 'no use complaining about taxes, money is not rain down from heaven, or cut public spending, or increase tax revenues.

But because no one tries to make a constructive criticism to act there where the money is there, and even increase?

journalist Manlio Dinucci on Manifesto [1 ] gives us a bit 'of numbers in detail the money they make available to the Finance Ministry of Defence in total about 1.7 billion euro for the 2007, which totaled 18 billion that the Defense already uses, are well 21 miliardi di euro , una cifra spaventosa se si pensa che l'attuale intera Finanziaria consiste di circa 40 miliardi di euro, e che per la ricerca e l'Università il ministro Mussi ha lottato per ottenere dei "miseri" 110 milioni di euro.[ 2 ] Di sicuro il ministro della difesa Parisi sarà uno dei pochi a non lamentarsi.

L'articolo 113 della legge Finanziaria [ 3 ] crea un fondo di investimento per la Difesa, cioè per il rinnovamento, la manutenzione dei mezzi e le attrezzature, oltre che per l'acquisto di nuovi aerei da guerra , che negli anni costeranno circa 20 miliardi. L'Italia diventa il settimo paese al mondo per spese militari, perchè? Non sarebbe più nice if we were in seventh place ( better than the first) for spending on health, education or environmental protection?

Who needs war planes? We ordinary citizens, or perhaps someone who has the power to spend 21 billion to a State that has a huge debt burden on all of us?

And where is the peace movement? Movement that has succeeded at least a few years ago to make their voices heard, but today he sleeps, perhaps too politicized and imploded in itself, like so many other projects that do not come to a real vocation of those who participate, but for usual paltry interest. We do not know, but unfortunately we can observe the failure at least in part. Get the peace that the point? It 's an abstract that stops a declaration of principle and any event, if you really believe in peace must make concrete proposals , realistic, those who govern us.

Let's stop buying weapons, vehicles and soldiers from war. If you really want, we give bags good old plastic soldiers [ 4] to play the Italian children, which is certainly not for this will become a lot smaller Rambo.

dismantled the army, we give a good example to the world, we support initiatives such as Controlarms [ 5]. Maybe instead of repairing a tank, causing deaths voluntarily and was born to destroy, repair a piece of highway, which, unfortunately, unintentionally causes many deaths every day. Otherwise have reason La Padania [6 ] writes: "Pacifists, but armed to the teeth."
