Can Stress Increase Bilirubin

Giustizia. In nome del popolo italiano.

This video
one of the last formalities of a trial held in the United States , in Knoxville, Tennessee. The representative of the prosecutor addressed the jury before deliberations.


L 'defendants, Lemaricus Davidson, was accused of having tortured, raped and then killed a young couple. On October 30, 2009 was sentenced to death.
The death penalty is unacceptable . Does not correct miscarriages of justice. With it, the state kills, albeit under the law, and thus help to make it less noticeable 's huge drama that is always the death of a man by the hand of another.
should also be emphasized that the 'extensive use of juries, when not supported by solid traditions such as the United States, is not without its drawbacks.
But, this being so, that manifested in the video is a justice that comes from the citizens' needs and responds to those of its performance.
Representatives of the prosecutors are basically simple American lawyers of the state or local governments. Directly or indirectly 'exercise of public charge is subject to the control of voters.
Here we see an organization of justice that clearly distinguishes the role and status of the prosecution than those of the judiciary. It is a distinction, albeit in different forms and with different emphases, is the rule in democracies.









Il caso italiano costituisce un' eccezione. La distinzione tra magistratura giudicante e requirente (pubblico ministero) è così debole da porre la difesa in posizione di subalternità. While the collaboration of the 'court order with the powers and constitutional bodies is not favored. Then it is difficult to enforce a specific responsibility for the mistakes made.
Montesquieu in his Spirit of Laws , demanded that the judiciary was entrusted to courts not permanent, formed by non-professionals drawn from the people. These popular temporary judges, as the French philosopher, should be only "the mouth of the law", thus creating a power invisible and null ". We must avoid it, Montesquieu thought that the court is also the legislature. Because in this case, the power over life and the freedom of citizens would be arbitrary.


The concerns of the great French are still to be shared , although the complexity of contemporary art requires the necessary space to professionalism.
According to the 'Article 101 of the Italian Constitution:

"Justice is administered in the name of the people.
Judges are subject only to the law."


In liberal terms we could say that justice must be administered in the name citizens to meet their need for protection. Nothing more and nothing less.

Can You Pierce Areas Where Warts Are Around

Any direct intervention by Apollonius of Rhodes Argonautica IN


ALCUNI INTERVENTI DIRETTI DI APOLLONIO RODIO NELLE ARGONAUTICHE


È risaputo che una caratteristica fondamentale della poesia epica antica è la completa oggettività di una narrazione in cui il poeta, per così dire, è eclissato dalla materia del canto 1 . Apollonio Rodio, invece, lungo tutto il poema dissemina interventi personali che interrompono la narrazione e che riportano il lettore all'ambiente e al mondo del poeta. Una simile situazione di rottura della dimensione temporale della narrazione si riscontra, ad esempio, in quei casi in cui Apollonio ricerca sopravvivenze del mito in this exactly as he did in his aitia Callimachus. It must be said, however, that the actions of Apollonius, as they may seem innovative when compared to the epic tradition as we know, are always placed within a narrative of which represent the poet's personal comment to the topic and a sort of sympatheia towards his characters.

The presence of the narrator of Apollonius is found from the preface (vv. 18-22) in which refuses to tell a traditional theme such as construction of the ship Argo:

Νῆα μὲν then, the more severe prosthen kleiousin vocalists
argon Athena kameein ypothimosynῃsi ·
now d if I genein tech and Huns mythisaimin
Heroes horsegram tech resources Alos, Ossa t 'erexan
plazomenoi · Muses d ypofitores eien also.

Questo intervento è piuttosto interessante in quanto rappresenta una cosciente presa di posizione del poeta nei confronti della tradizione poetica a lui anteriore e ci permette di capire in che rapporto stanno le Argonautica with that line of epic poetry, unfortunately we lost by focusing on the myth of the Argonauts.
But in subsequent direct involvement of you can shed some light, though only partially, also on the attitude of the poet to reality. I refer in particular to a pessimistic attitude towards human life and suffering. In our modern understanding this could imply a nihilistic and materialistic view of man. In fact, for an ancient author, things are not in these terms, as in greek thought (think of the tragedy) the dramatic power coscienza della precaria condizione esistenziale dell'uomo non implica necessariamente una messa in discussione degli dei e del divino. Semmai, si può dire che la riflessione sull'esistenza umana non fa altro che approfondire il solco che separa nettamente i mortali dagli dei. In Apollonio, dunque, non assistiamo ad una vera e propria ridiscussione o critica del mondo divino (che è sempre presente se non altro come elemento della tradizione epica arcaica), ma ad una convergenza della visuale del poeta sulle azioni e sulla psiche umana visti come elementi autonomi rispetto al mondo degli immortali. Tanto è vero che, mentre in Omero la responsabilità individuale molto spesso è legata ad un intervento divino sulla psiche di un personaggio, in Apollonio, pur non scomparendo la tradizionale “regia divina” sui fatti umani, viene indagato in maniera approfondita il formarsi di una volontà o di un sentimento in quanto atto proprio dell'io del personaggio (si pensi all'amore di Medea). Analizziamo, dunque, alcuni interventi significativi dell'autore.

Il primo passo appartiene al Catalogo degli argonauti. Apollonio introduce la figura di Canto e Mopso, destinati a morire in Libia senza poter tornare in patria (vv. 77-85):

Αὐτὰρ ἀπ' Εὐβοίης Κάνθος κίε, Ra Kanithos
pempen Avantiadis leliimenon · my hand was going
nostisein Kirinthos relapse, agar aisa hEN
him but Mopson tech daimona mantosynaon
planchthentas Libya dῃothinai upon temptation.
So essential to men epafrein evil non-believers, 82
oppote and aid him too Livyῃ tarchysanto,
tosson ekas Colchians osson tech of the sun approximately
messigys intractable IS and antolai eisoroontai.

In questi versi il poeta interviene quasi per compiangere la sorte dei suoi personaggi. Nessun dolore, commenta il poeta, è troppo lontano dalla vita umana (v. 82). Si noti che tale lontananza del male viene efficacemente ripresa visivamente dal poeta nella distanza geografica che separa la Libia della Colchide e nei due opposti punti di alba e tramonto. In tal modo, dunque, l'amaro sfogo personale viene ricondotto sul piano dell'azione e, come tale, non viene più percepito come estraneo alla materia cantata.
L'umana partecipazione di Apollonio alla morte di Canto e di Mopso si ritrova nel quarto libro del poema in occasione della descrizione della fine degli eroi (vv. 1485-1512). Qui il poeta non può far altro che constatare lapidariamente l'ineluttabilità della morte (v. 1504):

... Οὐ γάρ τις ἀποτροπίη θανάτοιο.

Below is an example of some that scientific rationality seems to be one component of the mentality of a cultured man of the Hellenistic period: in commenting on the death of MOPS, caused by the bite of a snake, the poet lets go to an almost blasphemous statement about the healing capacity of Apollo (called peony). Apollonius, in fact, declares, albeit reluctantly, that not even Apollo himself could heal a wound like that (vv. 1505-1512):

κεῖτο γὰρ ἐν ψαμάθοισι, μεσημβρινὸν ἦμαρ ἀλύσκων,
δεινὸς ὄφις, νωθὴς μὲν ἑκὼν ἀέκοντα χαλέψαι,
οὐδ' ἂν ὑποτρέσσαντος ἐνωπαδὶς aixeien ·
But whom be the first central ion remains melanchimon
zoonotic what earth feresvios empnoa grazes,
not even 's Aida oposon pichyion gignetai οἷμος,
οὐδ 'εἰ Παιήων (εἴ μοι θέμις ἀμφαδὸν εἰπεῖν)
φαρμάσσοι, ὅτε μοῦνον ἐνιχρίμψῃσιν ὀδοῦσιν.

Returning to the first book (vv. 1035-1039), the poet lets go to another intervention of compassion / lament for the suffering human. This is the sad episode of Cyzicus, The King of Dolioni is tragically killed by Jason in response to an unfortunate error that has prevented the two peoples to identify themselves. The need, therefore, this story ends up Apollonius see how dramatically the fate is nothing but a network 2 (1036) that sooner or later is bound to ensnare us:

ὁ δ ' ἐνὶ ψαμάθοισιν ἐλυσθείς 1034
μοῖραν ἀνέπλησεν. THE GAR oupot Themis' alyxai
thnitoisin, he is always on the mega digested erkos ·
until, that oiomenon adefkeos ektothen automatic
He is aristion, αὐτῇ ὑπὸ νυκτὶ πέδησεν
μαρνάμενον κείνοισι.

In the fourth book, however, starting from the anxiety of the wedding of Jason and Medea, celebrated among the Phoenicians under the threat of Colchis who would like to take possession of Medea, the poet (vv. 1165-1169) observed as bitter suffering is always ready to disturb and interrupt the brief moments of happiness

ἀλλὰ γὰρ οὔποτε φῦλα δυηπαθέων ἀνθρώπων
τερπωλῆς ἐπέβημεν ὅλῳ ποδί, σὺν δέ τις αἰεί
πικρὴ παρμέμβλωκεν ἐυφροσύνῃσιν ἀνίη·
τῶ καὶ τούς, γλυκερῇ περ ἰαινομένους φιλότητι,
δεῖμ 'ἔχεν εἰ τελέοιτο διάκρισις Ἀλκινόοιο.

A happiness that, in hindsight, is not one that could come from the joys of love. Like many other ancient authors Apollonius, in fact, sees Eros as the most insane passion bearer of pain rather than feeling able to produce happiness. In the fourth step libro leggiamo una dichiarazione fondamentale per capire il rapporto fra il poeta e la materia cantata. Si tratta di una imprecazione ad Eros in cui viene condannato l'influsso negativo 3 di questo sentimento sulle persone (vv. 445-449):

Schetli Eros, scalings mega, mega Styx to men ,
on sethen oulomenai t Eris stonachai HE HE gooi,
algae t 'but upon toisin boundless tetrichasin ·
adverse upon Paisios korysseo demon aertheis
oios Mideiῃ stygerin fresin ἔμβαλες ἄτην.

Although Eros is the source of the success of the enterprise, not escapes Apollonius whole series of negative consequences that that entails. Hard not to think that such an intervention in the poet had in mind (as well as a centuries-old poetic tradition that had largely dealt with the theme of love as a source of suffering), the dramatic scenes of Euripides' Medea in which effects of the passion of Medea for Jason were taken to the extreme.

Anxiety the poet is also evident towards the end of the fourth book (vv. 1673-1677) in a passage that describes the evil spell of Medea made the giant Talos:

Ζεῦ πάτερ, ἦ μέγα δή μοι ἐνὶ φρεσὶ θάμβος ἄηται,
εἰ δὴ μὴ νούσοισι τυπῇσί τε μοῦνον ὄλεθρος
antiaei, particularly the apoprothen Ammes chaleptei,
as a oge, approx Halkios areas, ypoeixe daminai
Let no one vrimῃ polypharmacy ·

What disturbs Apollonius is not so much the death of Talos, as the ways in which it was submitted. This is essentially the dismay towards what we call "paranormal", ie that area where even the brightest light of the Apollonian rationality gives way to darkness of the mystery and concern. We could almost say that one of the most characteristic features of the poetics of Argonautica the ἀμηχανία 4, and also to some extent a reflection of the personality of their author.

Just like in ' opening words of the poem emerged in the foreground the personality of the poet (I, vv. 18-22), so in closing Apollonius work reappears in first person as if to to greet his audience and his characters with the hope of obtaining the desired reward poetic immortality (IV, 1773-1781):

Ἵλατ 'ἀριστῆες, μακάρων γένος, αἵδε δ' ἀοιδαί
εἰς year on eteos glykeroterai eien sing
to men gar · already upon Klytia peirath 'able
yours fatigue after Did not the NY ymmin Aethlios

Le Creuset Numbers On Bottom

Le origini delle rivolte in Nord Africa e Medio Oriente. Le ragioni dei pessimisti.

Less than ten years ago Bernard Lewis in his seminal The crisis of 'Islam (2004, p.. 103) wrote:

" The combination of low productivity and high rate of Childbirth in the Middle East contributes to the formation of an unstable mixture, composed of a large and growing extent of young unemployed, uneducated and frustrated. According to all indices of the United Nations, the World Bank and other authorities, the Arab countries - in areas like creating jobs, the 'education, technology, and productivity - are even further behind in relation to' the West. Worse yet, the Arab nations are also back with the more recent recruits to Western-style modernity, such as Korea, Taiwan and Singapore "

considerations of Professor Lewis is still largely illuminating, though PROBLEMS: today to highlight the extraordinary growth in large countries like China, 'India and Brazil.
In their rapid growth was accompanied by an increase in food prices, which many considered one of the main triggers of the riots.
Sergio Romano on Panorama of February 24, 2011, p.. 109, writes:

"Revolutions are often ideological. But generally when the riots broke out hunger in the streets draws together university students, the populace of the suburbs, the unemployed, the workers to whom the salary no longer guarantees a decent survival. Those of Tunis, Cairo and Alexandria have erupted when the 'increase in consumption in emerging countries (China, India and Brazil), along with famine in the countryside of China, caused the sudden surge in food prices. "

see how all the inhabitants of the countries in revolt? With whose eyes read these devastating effects of globalization? Three key elements seem to be highlighted.
The first, too often overlooked, is represented by the exacerbated sensitivity and historical awareness of Muslims and Arabs in particular.
writes Bernard Lewis in 'work cited above, p.. 5:
"The Muslim peoples, like all peoples of the world, sono stati plasmati dalla loro storia, ma a differenza di altri ne sono fortemente consapevoli".
Fin dall' infanzia i musulmani vengono formati nella memoria di un grande passato. Tale memoria contribuisce ad accrescere la delusione per il presente.
Si deve poi sottolineare la lunga sopravvivenza, pressochè nell' intera regione, di sistemi caratterizzati da un forte ruolo dello stato nell' economia. Iraq, Siria, Egitto, Libia, Algeria. In questi paesi i regimi autoritari baathisti o socialisti hanno costruito società in cui sempre più gli individui chiedevano allo stato, non al proprio lavoro, la soddisfazione dei bisogni fondamentali. E lo stato riusciva a trovare un minimo Consensus is often only through the sale of oil and gas or aid of superpowers. In these societies is a widespread mentality in many ways similar to that of the 'Soviet man' state-dependent as described by scholars of the 'Soviet Union and Soviet systems (see, for everybody, Victor Zaslavsky, History of the Soviet system , 2009, p.. 182 et seq.).
Also to be highlighted were the effects of new technologies. Internet and satellite transmissions, thus allowing surface contact, unfortunately, usually with modernity, with its opportunities and, more often, with his promises. In this contact the roots widespread unrealistic expectations which presumably have driven many young people to rise against the corrupt and authoritarian rulers.

On this basis we can surmise what developments? In the medium term the riots will produce damage to national economies. Less tourists, less foreign investment, less production, more unemployment, more emigration.
The hoped-for democratic development could lead to an increase in public spending, debt and 'influence of religious fundamentalism.
No hope for these people? It 's impossible to predict the future. And you can not control chaotic processes such as those in place. If someone thought to succeed in these companies and take advantage of it is wrong. By new arrangements and awareness will emerge perhaps good news. But in history the worst is always possible.

Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica, III, 744-752: A SHORT COURSE OF NIGHT SCENE BETWEEN OLD



Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica , III, 744-752: A SHORT COURSE OF NIGHT SCENE BETWEEN OLD


In the third book of the Argonautica Apollonius in describing the changing and contradictory attitude towards his love of Medea for Jason puts a beautiful scene in which it is opposed to the mood of heroin to calm restless night (vv. 744-752):

Νὺξ μὲν ἔπειτ 'ἐπὶ γαῖαν ἄγεν κνέφας, οἱ δ' ἐνὶ πόντῳ
ναυτίλοι Elikin in tech and stars Orion 745
edrakon on the ships, he and the ypnoio oditis
already eeldeto pylaoros, and Tina boys
mother τεθνεώτων ἀδινὸν περὶ κῶμ' ἐκάλυπτεν,
οὐδὲ κυνῶν ὑλακὴ ἔτ' ἀνὰ πτόλιν, οὐ θρόος ἦεν
ἠχήεις, σιγὴ δὲ μελαινομένην ἔχεν ὄρφνην· 750
ἀλλὰ μάλ 'οὐ Μήδειαν ἐπὶ γλυκερὸς λάβεν ὕπνος.
πολλὰ γὰρ Αἰσονίδαο πόθῳ μελεδήματ 'ἔγειρεν

Medea Chalciope sister has just promised to help with her magic arts Phrixus and Jason's children to pass the tests imposed by the father EETAA. In this context, So you enter the evocative image of a night that comes, so to speak, to take a deserved rest and to human activities than to those of nature as a whole. In this handful of verses, the poet describes an entire macrocosm through rapid and precise strokes that give us an image rather than actual reality: the sailors (vv. 744-746), a traveler and a guardian (vv. 746-747) a mother who has lost his children (vv. 747-748), dogs (see 749) and the silence of the night (v. 750). Insomnia Medea (the more dramatic when compared to the sleep of poor mother without children), which can be seen as a conflict between individual and environment, it is undoubtedly moderno e vicino a quella sensibilità che il Romanticismo ha saputo ben valorizzare nel corso della sua evoluzione storica. Tuttavia, dietro a questi versi che sembrano anticipare di secoli una certa sensibilità moderna è possibile intravvedere l'eco di alcuni autori greci che Apollonio dovette indubbiamente tenere presente. In effetti a livello letterario la situazione dell'insonnia di un personaggio contrapposta al sonno degli altri trova un importante precedente in un passo dell' Iliade in cui viene descritto il dubbio di Zeus riguardo ai modi per aiutare Achille (II, 1-4):

Ἄλλοι μέν ῥα θεοί tech and amounted ippokorystai
evdon pannychioi, Jupiter d essential having nidymos sleep,
but who is ce mermirize Against Achilles as a brake
timisῃ, olesῃ δὲ πολέας ἐπὶ νηυσὶν Ἀχαιῶν.

The situation returns back to X, 1-4, where, however, this time it is insomnia of Agamemnon:

Ἄλλοι μὲν παρὰ νηυσὶν ἀριστῆες Παναχαιῶν
εὗδον παννύχιοι μαλακῷ dedmimenoi ypnῳ ·
But essential Atreidin Agamemnon shepherd
sweet sleep having many things fresin ormainonta.

Nell ' Odissea , invece, Atena recatasi a Lacedemone per incitare Telemaco a tornare ad Itaca, trova il figlio di Nestore addormentato nell'atrio e Telemaco insonne a causa delle preoccupazioni per il destino del padre (vv. 1-7):

the d Lacedaemon in Pallas Athena evrychoron
ᾤchet 'Odyssios magnanimousness faidimon son
homesickness reminders and otryneousa neesthai.
placement brokers But Telemachus and Nestor's son Aglaia
evdont 'In prodomῳ kydalimoio Menelaus, 5
ie alive or Nestoridin malakῷ dedmimenon ypnῳ ·
Telemachus, Is not having a sweet sleep, but to aid thymῷ
night self amvrosiin meledimata egeiren father.

Passando da Omero ai lirici il passaggio al celebre notturno di Alcmane (fr. 89 Page) risulta obbligatorio anche se problematico:

εὕδουσι δ' ὀρέων κορυφαί τε καὶ φάραγγες
πρώονές τε καὶ χαράδραι
φῦλά τ' ἑρπέτ' ὅσα τρέφει black earth
Thireas t 'oreskoioi and bee genus
and knodal' In venthessi purple alos ·
evdousi d sacrifices tanypterygon tribes.

of this elegant and evocative description of the peace at night, evoked through a detailed list of places and animals, unfortunately, completely ignore the context. We do not know, because if it is a description an end in itself or whether it was opposed to concerns of one or more persons. Although we do not have the opportunity to understand the full value of the fragment Alcman, it is not implausible to think, just based on the above scenes of night, the stillness of the night was a way to mark a human emotion in stark contrast to the peace . A possible confirmation of this hypothesis could also come from a well-known and controversial piece Sappho (168 Voigt b)

δέδυκε μὲν ἁ σελάνα
καὶ Πληϊάδες, μέσαι δὲ
νύκτες, παρὰ δ 'ἔρχεθ' ὥρα ·
ἐγὼ δὲ μόνα καθεύδω.

Disregarding for a moment the thorny question of Sappho in the allocation (even if a famous study Marzullo 1 appear to show the belonging to the fragment corpus the poet of Lesbos), the situation described in these verses does not appear too different from the substance of the other Clubs run up to this moment: a macrocosm that follows a natural order (in this case represented by the movement of the stars) and that is a sort of peace in the stillness of the night, contrasts with the loneliness and, by implication, the restlessness of the protagonist of the poem.
back there in the Hellenistic Age ' Idyll of Theocritus II a brief image of the night when ormai appare esplicito, esattamente come in Apollonio, il riferimento erotico (vv. 33-36):

ἠνίδε σιγῇ μὲν πόντος, σιγῶντι δ' ἀῆται·
ἁ δ' ἐμὰ οὐ σιγῇ στέρνων ἔντοσθεν ἀνία,
ἀλλ' ἐπὶ τήνῳ πᾶσα καταίθομαι ὅς με τάλαιναν
ἀντὶ γυναικὸς ἔθηκε κακὰν καὶ ἀπάρθενον ἦμεν.

Simeto These are the words of the woman in love that makes even obscure magical practices to win back his love. The reference to the context of the night we get from the previous mention of the moon (vv. 10-11).

In this brief journey through poems of different eras can not miss the reference to Virgil, the Latin poet who was able to rework the earlier Greek literary tradition in the light of experience Latin poetry. The entire fourth book of ' Aeneid, for example, is in many ways a tribute to Apollonius as the poet has built the image of Dido through the figure of the poet's Medea Hellenistic. Just in this section of the poem we find a direct resumption of night Apollonius refers to Dido (vv. 522-532):

Nox erat 2 et placidum carpebant fessa soporem
corpora per terras, siluaeque et saeua quierant
aequora, cum medio uoluuntur sidera lapsu,
cum tacet omnis ager, pecudes pictaeque uolucres, 525
quaeque lacus late liquidos quaeque aspera dumis
rura tenent, somno positae sub nocte silenti,
lenibant curas et corda oblita laborum.
at non infelix animi Phoenissa, neque umquam
soluitur in somnos oculisue aut pectore noctem
accipit: ingeminant curae rursusque resurgens
saeuit amor magnoque irarum fluctuat aestu.




In questi versi not only hear the echo of Apollonius, but there is also the night Alcman throughout the series of specific references to animals and, say, even the reference to Theocritus 3 (v. 525 Tacet ; σιγῶντι v. 33).

In conclusion of this short path that led us to Apollonius Rhodius Virgil carry some lines taken from Ovid's Epistulae ex Ponto (III, 3, vv. 1 et seq. ) in which the poet combines literary topos the night with that vision in a dream. Ovid, in fact, imagine that during a moonlit night in which it had dozed off to sleep appears suddenly to awaken love. From the dialogue between Ovid and the god is taken the cue to talk about the personal situation of the poet (the exile) and the literary choices (as opposed to epic poetry loving Journal). I said there, so to speak, a merger between the two topoi , the fact that if at the beginning of Ovid's poem seems to describe a real apparition that can interrupt sleep later 4 (vv. 93-94) is suggested doubt that it was just a dream. However, what is to be stressed is the fact that this text presents a contrast between the situation of a night's sleep is something that occurs to disrupt and interfere with normal sleep of the protagonist. Whether it's an apparition or a dream, then it matters little, because in both cases there always remains such a contrast:




It uacat exiguum tempus give refugee friend,
o sidus Fabiae, Maxime, gentis, ades,
dum tibi quae uidi refero, seu corporis umbra
seu ueri species seu fuit ille sopor.
Nox erat et bifores intrabat luna fenestras,

Publica me requies curarum somnus habebat

Tribunal Bloodmoon Russian To Englush

L' ex ambasciatore Ronald P. Spogli sulle relazioni tra Italia e Stati Uniti.

Ronald P. Spogli, a businessman of Italian origin, born in 1948, was U.S. ambassador in Italy from 2005 to 2009, during the presidency of George W. Bush.
In this letter to Corriere della Sera examines the state of relations between Italy and the USA.


Spogli writes:

"In the frenzy to score points for their own benefit, which dominates the fiery Italian political scene right now, what is lost is a fair trial on the relations between Italy and the United States established Silvio Berlusconi and the government he led. "

"The United States has no better ally of Italy on the European continent."

"From the Balkans, Lebanon, 'whole of the Middle East to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Italian contribution in terms of manpower, materials and financial aid policies and initiatives in support of shared remains unmatched. When she was invited to support a U.S. goal, Italy has never pulled back. Our defense cooperation is constantly developing our respective countries and today enjoy a relationship between the smallest and most diverse, of all the bilateral military relations. "

" This collaboration has helped to raise so intense the 'Italy to an unprecedented stature on the international political scene. Often considered a partner in the past to the second floor, since 2000, Italy has taken a very strong position on the world stage between the G8 countries. In an article published in this newspaper in September 2010, I had the opportunity to comment on how Italy has been able, in less than a decade, abandoning the traditional image of featherweight in the world to become an important and valuable contributor to the maintenance of peace and stability.
historical standpoint, however strong and mutually beneficial have been in the past, only with the establishment of the government of Silvio Berlusconi in 2001-2006 our political relations have reached the prominence they enjoy today. The excellent personal relationship between President Bush and Prime Minister Berlusconi was born of a shared vision of the challenges and opportunities globally and how best to address them. fact, the rise of Italy to a key player in the international arena coincided with a period of intense collaboration between Italy and the United States which lasts until today, and was favored on the Italian side in the first Berlusconi government of 2001-2006 and the 2008 until the present day. Although Prodi's coalition of 2006-2008 also has supported most American interventions - with the notable exception of Iraq - no one has ever argued with equal fairness and consistency of American policy positions as Silvio Berlusconi. "

"For his collaborative spirit, America has a debt of gratitude to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi."

In reality after the Second World War the 'Italy, a regional power failure, and the United States, the first global superpower engaged in harsh contrast to' the Soviet Union later in the fight against terrorist organizations, have consistently had a strong interest in political cooperation and military.
to the traditional reasons of 'alliance we have now added the particular scarcity of financial resources that the state may allocate to the Italian Armed Forces. The close collaboration in this field with the United States can partially remedy the problems created by 'under-investment.
is good coordination with the major countries of the 'European Union. But the 'efficiency of an' alliance is largely determined by traditions and historical precedent. Overall, certainly 'more in favor of the United States' America.

With the defeat of Nazi thought we got rid from the most dangerous criminals. But today, in light of new documents and new witnesses, we can argue that it is not. The crimes were only moved from Europe to Third World areas, under the pretext of "bringing freedom" to the people. In the name of freedom and democracy have been committed countless crimes and genocide.
The title "New Democracy", takes over the definition that the dictator Augusto Pinochet gave to the new situation Chile has arisen following the massacre of thousands of people and the suppression of the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. The New Democracy is a "democracy without people." The "new democracies" are now many, implemented and yet, tragically, to be implemented. The world today is far from being liberated by those who arrogate to themselves the power to commit crimes in the name of an ideology that is in the profit and power in his only God

This disconcerting fact there is rendered incomprehensible by the media , showing horrifying images of children dying from hunger and do not tell us anything about what is owed. Prevent the emergence of the paradox of a West that is professed and scientifically advanced advanced, but is not able to save many human beings from starvation. Bodies of migrants are shown floating lifeless in the Straits of Gibraltar, but we do not explain the political and economic reasons which force them to flee their country, risking their lives. The media show us and guerrilla wars but do not tell us who manufactures and sells the weapons that make this possible.
It 's time to put all the pieces of the puzzle in place, to make possible the full understanding of reality. And to tell who are the perpetrators.
This book sheds light on the causes of the major problems that oppress humanity. Without hesitation indicates the cause and its perpetrators.
Despite the book face merciless light on the horrors of which some human beings are capable, the conclusions are not pessimistic. Instead, the idea is to find the crimes is the first step for us not to go unpunished and to create a better world. The book not only identifies the crimes of the imperial giant, but his feet of clay.

INTRODUCTION

We all wondered at least once in the world because many people are forced to live in conditions of extreme suffering from hunger, war, misery and exploitation affect billions of people. Understanding and finding answers is possible, but implica necessariamente il prendere atto che dietro queste sofferenze ci sono dei precisi responsabili. Persone che hanno il potere di imporre al mondo intero un sistema iniquo, in cui il privilegio e l'avidità di pochi corrispondono alla sofferenza e alla condanna di molti.
Nel 1948, George Kennan, un funzionario del Dipartimento di Stato Usa, confessava:
"Possediamo il 50 per cento della ricchezza mondiale, ma solo il 6,3 per cento della sua popolazione. In questa situazione, il nostro vero lavoro nel periodo a venire è di escogitare uno schema di relazioni che ci permetta di mantenere questa posizione di disparità. Per farlo, dobbiamo abbandonare ogni sentimentalismo... dovremmo smetterla di pensare ai diritti umani, all'innalzamento del tenore di vita e alla democratizzazione" (1).
Questa verità viene tenuta nascosta, mentre vengono propagandate presunte motivazioni "etiche" e "umanitarie" della politica americana. Nella propaganda mediatica non contano i fatti ma le percezioni. Come sostiene George Bush junior, la verità non è ma "si costruisce", e "le percezioni contano più dei fatti"(2) . I media spostano l'attenzione per nascondere fatti e responsabilità. Chi indica i fatti diventa "'antiamericano", oppure "antioccidentale" o "antipatriottico". Allontanare i fatti e i responsabili dalla realtà mediatica fa parte del progetto di nascondere la verità sul mondo.
Alla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale il mondo usciva from the nightmare of war, with great confidence to rebuild what was destroyed and, above all, with the certainty of having eliminated the "monster" Nazi. He sings the praises of a better world, because the "bad guys" were defeated. In this context, the U.S. appeared to be victorious heroes who had liberated the people from the tyrant.
Nazism, the Holocaust and Hitler were narrated as the "absolute evil", or as due to a mysterious dark force that had taken possession of a democratically elected government, prompting him to make unheard-of crimes. Calling Hitler "monster", and the Holocaust "absolute evil" (3), the events Nazis were placed outside of history itself, alienated from others facts that belong to historical time. This makes it even more unacceptable Nazism, understood as being due to a perversion denied by the same Western history. So he prevented the wider awareness of reality and existing, closely linked to Nazism. He hid it so heinous crimes had been committed by Europeans in the colonial lands. Native Americans were already long goal of extermination, in African and Asian colonies, Europeans had committed several acts of genocide, which did not appear as such only because the natives did not enjoy the same rights as settlers, being considered inferior.
The idea of \u200b\u200bhaving to purify the "race" and having to kill a group persons considered worthless or dangerous, already belonged to Western culture. For example, in May 1898, British Prime Minister Robert Arthur Salisbury, very attentive to British colonial policy (4), in a speech at the Albert Hall cynically acknowledged that "we can roughly divide the nations of the world into those who live and those who are dying. " The model that Hitler had followed, as he himself admitted, was the extermination of native Americans. Many of those who massacred the Indians were given medals by American presidents. General Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888) stated that "the only good Indian I know of is the dead Indian." Almost all the presidents Americans acted in perfect accord with him. In the Thirties, some American scientists found an effective way to permanently eliminate the "inferior races" (5) through eugenic techniques, which were legalized and implemented in many states. Hitler have deep admiration for American scholars, who in those years published several papers on "defense of the white race from contamination of the inferior races."
What Hitler was not forgiven, according to the writer Aimé Césaire, was "the fact that it has applied in Europe, the colonial practices that had previously been applied only to the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India and the Negroes' Africa "(6). Hitler had been divorced from Story because, by making the same Europe to colonize the land, had deprived the historical facts of the legitimate "moral" that the West used to subdue and enslave other peoples. In other words, the rules and laws that apply in the Western world should continue to be different from those applied in the colonial lands. The colonial cruelty should not be treated equally the same cruelties committed in Europe: the colonial cruelty were "legitimate" while orders in Europe were "absolute evil beyond history." Hitler was, therefore, be demonized and seen very differently from other powerful Western. His ferocity was "monstrous" because it is directed against the Europeans. He was a monster, born from the "evil" itself, not by history.
This also served to hide the fact that Hitler could never do anything of what he did without any support from those countries that now demonized. As stated Peter Calvocoressi, Prosecutor at Nuremberg: "The industrialists were the engine of the German state. The real backbone of Germany's armed forces were not, or at least not only them, but the industrial and financial power. Without it there would be was no army. "
The Second World War was explained in the dynamic dictatorship / democracy. The end of fascism and Nazism was celebrated as the return to the ideals of freedom, democrazia e giustizia. A tutt'oggi molti pensano alla Seconda guerra mondiale come ad un conflitto fra "valori" diversi, come se gli Alleati fossero stati completamente estranei all'ascesa di Hitler e al rafforzamento delle sue mire espansionistiche. Alcuni studi storici (7) ci fanno capire che non è così. Le imprese e le banche occidentali, soprattutto quelle americane, avevano ricavato dalla guerra profitti enormi. Avevano giocato bene le loro carte finanziando l'ascesa di Hitler e la sua preparazione alla guerra. Non era la prima volta, né sarebbe stata l'ultima, che il potere economico e finanziario americano utilizzava un dittatore mostruoso per realizzare i suoi progetti. Alcune grosse imprese Usa (come la Ibm, la Ford Motor Company, la General Motors e la Standard Oil) avevano continuato a produrre per il führer anche durante la guerra, dimostrando palesemente che per loro gli alti profitti contavano più della vita umana. Durante la guerra avevano utilizzato ampiamente lavoratori coatti, che trattavano alla stessa stregua di oggetti senza valore. Un lavoratore anonimo scrisse in una lettera: "L'Ibm è un mostro internazionale... come i nazisti" (8).
La Ford, anche dopo l'entrata in guerra degli Usa, continuò a produrre materiale bellico, che sarebbe stato utilizzato contro gli americani. Le fabbriche americane in Germania non vennero mai bombardate durante la guerra. Le banche e le imprese americane si erano dichiarate "neutrali", e avevano tratto parecchi vantaggi the bloody war that would weaken the European empires and strengthened the American empire. Today, those same companies and banks are stronger than ever, and fomenting wars in different parts of the world, for the same reasons: to strengthen its dominance and for large profits.
E 'question whether imperialism was indeed defeated, as we were led to believe, or whether it was deleted from German imperialism of Hitler. If
imperialism we mean a political-military-economic system of a particular nation that stands as superior to all others and makes terrible crimes with impunity, then the historical facts tell us that it never died, and has continued to commit genocide, and led terrible wars. The difference is that after the Second World War, crime and genocide have been reported outside of Europe, in those lands considered to plunder and exploit. Lands where human life has the same value that is given in rich countries.
After Hitler, it became clear that imperialism produced terrible crimes, and the term was banned (9). In the infamous words of "imperialism" was replaced, quite wrongly, the word "democracy" (10), and for many years the imperialist crimes were disguised as "struggles for freedom of peoples," and "democracy."
Since the end of the Second World War, the U.S. power strove to increase its energy resources and prevent wherever the birth of an alternative model to the capitalist West. The wake of war, violence and cruelty is very long. The dichotomy dictatorship / democracy was revived through the "red danger", with which the United States to exert influence in many parts of the world war. The military operations carried out by the U.S. to impose its hegemony have been at least 60 since the last World War to today. Under the pretext of "defending the people from tyrants," the U.S. has devastated many countries, who were "guilty" of wanting to implement an alternative political-economic system in the U.S..
the Second World War was created ad hoc a reality in which it seemed that the crimes and abuses of power belonged to the past. U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Atlantic Charter (1941), spoke for the first time for redemption of colonized peoples, freedom and self-determination. But they were just fine words, which obscured the intent to supplant its dominance to European.
Additional historical developments reveal a face of the West, particularly the U.S., quite different from what the media propaganda show. The wars of yesterday against the enemy "communist", or those of today against the enemy "terrorists", have hidden and continue to hide the paradoxes of the Western world to U.S. hegemony. A world that professes to have democratic institutions, an analysis depth, does not respect at all.
The paradoxes and contradictions in the West today, to U.S. hegemony, are many. We think the constitutional principle of equality of citizens, defended by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This principle (as the values \u200b\u200bof "Justice," "Tranquility" and "general welfare"), supported in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is not respected in reality. There are certain characteristics of the American economic system that effectively exclude the possibility that constitutional values \u200b\u200bare protected. In the U.S. economic power is in the hands of a very limited group of people. The power to print money is in the hands of a private group banks, defined Federal Reserve, a designation that causes most to think that this is an institution of government. U.S. citizens are charged a fee for this absurd private monopoly, which absorbs much of their wealth.
A small group of people, who are often the same companies that own, decide the fate of many countries, through the denial or the giving of money. For an oligarchic economic system can only be matched by a political system with the same characteristics. American presidents are all belonging to the rich class, and their campaigns received, both candidates, financing by the firms and banks themselves. The American political system is based on the personality of the candidates as if it were a spectacle, and media create political figures the same way as Hollywood stars. Democracy has been reduced to a "ritual", held to give the illusion people to count for something. Michel Chossudovsky observes: "No alternative is offered to the electorate. Neoliberalism is an integral part of the political platform of all major political parties. As in the one-party state, the election results have virtually no impact on the effective management of policy economic and social status "(11).
After the end of the Cold War, the economic-financial elite acquired American security and wealth to dominate the whole world. The fame that he had freed from dictatorship and to bring "freedom and democracy" everywhere, allowing them to propagate the culture of American culture as a "morally superior", to be broadcast around the world. But today we are living in a world where the propaganda opposed dictatorship / democracy is costing too many people. The rich American elite, especially in the last two decades, is implementing plans for world domination, and it is not a domain that could help humanity. The plan of domination and destruction is hidden by defensive and humanitarian reasons. The U.S. say they have enemies "terrorists", but then cynically kill defenseless people, say they do "humanitarian missions" but then condemn millions of people to die of hunger because of their economic policies, taxes through cleverly apparently international institutions (IMF, WB, WTO). The elite U.S. does not want a world in which wealth can be redistributed more, and does not like that people can have a voice in political and economic issues. He then found the formula to establish an apparent "democracy", which covers and hides the true power.
The very word "democracy" used to the abuse of American presidents, was stripped of content that should necessarily be associated with: popular sovereignty in all matters affecting the people themselves, respect for human rights human, first and foremost the right to self determination.
writes Peter Gowan, "A New Democracy is managed by landlords capitalists who finance the political process and offer voters a choice between leaders who share the same opinions but have a different style of control ... At the same time makes the New Democracy easier for corporations to increase their influence and the media 'global' (ie Western) guiding public opinion. (This) will of the leaders in the country chosen to 'want what we want'. So there will be no need to use the stick "(12).
For "New Democracy" means "democracy" exported from the United States. The myth New Democracy was expressed by the dictator Augusto Pinochet, who, after the massacre of thousands of people and the suppression of the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, in these words described the new situation in Chile. The New Democracy is a "democracy without people." The "new democracies" are many, implemented and yet, tragically, to be implemented. The book covers all the significant moments of American dominance of the last war to date. It identifies the paradoxes, techniques to enforce the power and to strengthen it, and the media propaganda which reverses meanings and change the facts. In the background is the terrible suffering of the people, forced to endure poverty, war, torture and massacres.
L'opera spiega anche l'ennesima menzogna di indicare nella "globalizzazione" la via per il benessere mondiale. Lunghe divagazioni nelle Università o nei Convegni in materia economica non sono ancora giunte ad una definizione univoca del termine "globalizzazione". E' impossibile definirlo senza scoprire le magagne dietro le quali si nasconde l'Occidente che si professa civile e democratico, senza considerare l'avidità dei paesi ricchi verso quelli poveri, e senza spiegare come i primi abbiano attuato stratagemmi "legali" per imporre un nuovo tipo di colonizzazione, nascosto dalle false politiche di "aiuto e sviluppo".
Secondo l'economista Boris Kagarlitsky, "globalizzazione non significa impotenza dello Stato, ma rigetto da parte dello State of its social function in favor of the repressive, then the end of democratic freedoms "(13).
The sociologist Ulrich Beck, referring to the word" globalization, "says:" More than a word it is a fog, a word-spectrum ... I call neo-liberal globalism dictatorship in the world market, in particular in the developing world, remains the foundation - however poor - democratic to self .... I mean by globalization, not only economic globalization but also the political, social and cultural "(14). The globalization, sooner or later require repression and war. Michel Chossudovsky asserts:" War and globalization are not separate issues ... At the dawn of the third millennium, the war and the "free market" go hand in hand "(15).
Globalization is the imposition of the full power of the oligarchy to the world. Through the processes of globalization, the elite of the banks and corporations has failed to enforce its rules to bend if governments. The world was a bleak and miserable place for most of the population. The political elite have produced unemployment, forced millions of people to work with very low wages, have eliminated the social welfare policies of the weakest, and they removed the real power from the hands of the representatives of the people. By putting profit above all things, have stirred new wars and new genocide. The U.S. today place themselves above any law, and consider the Bill of Rights of 1948 a "letter to Santa Claus," as Reagan's ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, referring in particular Article 25, speaking of economic man.
Banks companies are enriched with economic crises and wars. The crisis created by the banks, cutting off credit and demanded payment. Wars are an excellent source of profits for banks and businesses, as they help to increase the debt of the country and exporting large quantities of weapons.
The world today is dominated by U.S. power of the oligarchy, a greedy and power based on lies. As Gore Vidal observes bluntly: "Their hearts are clearly elsewhere, making money, far from our mock Roman temples, where, alas, we are left with only their heads, who dream of war, preferably against weak peripheral countries" (16) .
Today many scholars argue that the condition of the U.S. should worry the world. For example, the American scholar writes Carolyn Baker:

"If we confront the tortured truths of American history that are related to 9 / 11 or the genocide of Native Americans made by European Americans in the 17th century, or any the atrocities perpetrated by the U.S. government of which I have said, we are forced to confront our false belief, deeply indelible amerocentrica clearly that America the beautiful is also the 'America as pure as snow ", or the' down America over the conduct of the nations 'children'."
Everything in our culture and our upbringing instilled in us a sense of arrogance and specialty filled automoralità in relation to the rest of the world. The "other" nations are corrupt, we look with satisfaction, pointing to some Latin American dictators, morally degraded. The "other" nations kill and torture their citizens without regard for the value of human life - but not in America. We use the phrase "conspiracy theory", almost as a synonym "schizophrenia" to describe (and slander) theories we hear too unbearable to believe it. Maybe some other government in some distant land, led by tyrants with strange sounding names in drug trafficking and laundering the profits through their exchanges. In some other nation, there is no rule of law, and the government allows its citizens to be massacred in a while to make and continue a war for political and monetary gains or for re-accumulation of natural resources in rapid decline "(17).

The neoliberal policies imposed by the late '70s, has now reached unbelievable levels of devastation in many countries. The IMF, the World Bank and the WTO are offered as organizations that fight for "developing countries". But poor countries are not "developing" because their development can be stifled at birth by the rich countries, through these organizations. Of the 143 WTO member countries, only the rich can put twenty-one courses of action. And the IMF decided uniquely by the economic policies imposed on poor countries. The historian Mark Curtis, based in Doha at the WTO summit in 2001, said:

"(The) Economic growth (is) an emerging pattern of threats and intimidation of poor countries. It 'was really outrageous, rich countries use their power to support the interests of big business blatantly. L'argomento delle corporazioni multinazionali quali causa di povertà non era proprio all'ordine del giorno; era come una conferenza sulla malaria in cui non si discute neanche della zanzara" (18).

Il "The Guardian", del 6 novembre 2001, raccontò di un delegato africano intimorito e soggiogato dal potere dei paesi ricchi: "Se esprimo giudizi troppo severi il mio ministro riceverà una telefonata dagli Stati Uniti. Gli diranno che sto creando problemi agli Stati Uniti. Il mio governo non chiederà nemmeno 'cosa ho detto?'. Il giorno dopo si limiteranno a mandarmi un biglietto... così non parlo, per paura di far arrabbiare il padrone".
Barry Coates, del World Development Movement, disse: "Le nazioni ricche are still negotiating in the first place in the interests of their major corporations. And they're still hitting poor nations out of the negotiation process. Market observers say more cynical that this is the way in which trade negotiations have always been carried out. "(19)
While inequality between rich and poor is growing as never before, celebrates the power of the world capitalist economic progress in China, India or Brazil. By measuring the GDP of each country is given an estimate of the average wages of workers, the percentage of people below the poverty line, or the level of unemployment is being touted as a world different from what it really is, and we celebrate the "progress" even where the people are impoverished or working in weatshops condition.
The struggles of social movements, allegations of humanitarian organizations, and the protests of indigenous peoples, the U.S. seems to only small annoyances. The CIA calls "blowback," or "collateral damage" effects of U.S. policies is not expected. Today this "blowback" is devastating affect everyone, and can not be ignored.
The world of work, the welfare of ordinary people, the future of children, the protection of different cultures, the protection of the rights of the weakest, and so on. were swapped for other "values". William Blum notes:

"The machinery of American foreign policy is been fueled not by a devotion to any kind of morality, but rather by the need to serve other imperatives, which can be summarized below:
1) make the world safe for American corporations;
2) beautify the financial statements of employers defense at home who have contributed generously towards members of Congress;
3) prevent the emergence of any company that can act as a successful example of a model alternative to the capitalist
4) extend the political and economic hegemony over an area as wide as possible, as befits a "great power".
All this in the name of fighting a supposed moral crusade against what che freddi guerrieri si sono convinti essere, e hanno convinto il popolo americano, l'esistenza di una malvagia Cospirazione Comunista Internazionale, che in realtà non è mai esistita, malvagia o no" (20).

Oggi il mondo è nelle mani di circa 200 principali imprese Multinazionali e Transnazionali, che detengono la quasi totalità della ricchezza. Per queste imprese conta soltanto il profitto, e tutto è merce: il cibo, la salute, la cultura, l'acqua, l'educazione e persino la vita. Mentre la popolazione mondiale si impoverisce e milioni di persone vivono in gravi situazioni dovute alla disoccupazione, allo scarso reddito, o alla fame, le Corporation festeggiano successi economici mai visti prima. Le fusioni, le concentrazioni e le ristrutturazioni permettono loro di aumentare i profitti. Le imprese e le banche hanno un potere assoluto, e decidono le loro politiche economiche nel totale cinismo, e all'oscuro dei lavoratori. Oggi si possono compiere genocidi senza costruire campi di sterminio, basta privare milioni di persone del necessario per la sopravvivenza, oppure impedire l'accesso ai farmaci. Come spiega Susan George: "La scandalosa proibizione della fabbricazione e della distribuzione dei farmaci generici (contro l'Aids, la malaria, la tubercolosi ecc.) con il pretesto che si tratti di sostanze brevettate dalle transnazionali farmaceutiche non è altro che un contributo al genocidio e conferma agli occhi del mondo la dottrina che pone il commercio, la proprietà e il profitto al di sopra di ogni cosa, compresa la vita umana" (21).
Il modello neoliberale, ormai imposto come l'unico possibile, ha devastato il mondo intero. Oggi la povertà colpisce quasi l'80% degli abitanti del pianeta, e getta il mondo intero in balìa di un'insicurezza che riguarda ogni paese, e che non ha precedenti.
I movimenti sociali denunciano crimini e ingiustizie in molti paesi del mondo. Spesso chi denuncia i crimini e lotta contro la globalizzazione viene etichettato come "terrorista" o "antiamericano", e accusato di perseguire una sorta di "teoria del complotto" contro il potere libero e democratico degli Usa. In questo modo si offuscano pericolosamente gli intenti di difesa dei diritti umani, e si cerca to criminalize those who report the crime and those who do not. The powerful media propaganda is very effective, and we find ourselves, unwittingly, to label those who escapes from its contents. The U.S. hopes
power in a world where the poor being exploited to passively accept, without struggle and without reacting. Dreams of a world in which the masses remain passive towards the crimes and injustices, supported by religious faith, which gives a hope beyond this world, the only given them. Over the past twenty years the poorer classes have suffered severe cuts in U.S. assistance funds, and their conditions have seriously deteriorated. However, the Corporate Welfare (22), which includes subsidies and tax cuts for businesses, has been strengthened. Companies and banks have become much richer while ordinary citizens continue to be impoverished.
When the Western media is the issue of poverty, usually deal with special cases, without making specific references to the real causes of the problem and its leaders. The poor countries appear on television as victims of their own misfortune, natural disasters, or poverty is attributed to the existence of long internal conflict. Do not you ever explain the true motives of war, or who finances. The media shall ensure that no one asks why, if poor countries were looted from the West, now have no debts and credits. We are not accustomed to thinking that there are specific responsibilities behind the poverty, wars and hunger in the world.
This book deals with poverty and war crimes by making specific references, and without liability or hide brutal cruelty, which are still committed, sometimes from the same countries that complain.
The U.S. has become the policeman of the world, with a license to kill and torture anyone in the name of the alleged motives "ethics".
The concept of "democratic interventionism" or "ethical imperialism", which tends to legitimize the war, was developed in the '30s by Max von Baden, the future chancellor of the Reich. Von Baden said: "If he wants to resist the storms of democracy and its demand for an improvement the world, German imperialism should adopt an ethical foundation. Now we can safely write on our banners: The law is with us "(23). He was convinced that the war could improve the ethical world. His conviction was upheld by the safety culture and the German people were definitely higher any other culture and nation.
Today American presidents argue that the American people than any other, and that American culture has a mission in the world, a mission "ethics", which must be completed with any half.
The main motivation of the war on "global terrorism" stems from the belief expressed by Councillor Madeleine Albright, Thomas Friedman, "Washington knows that, without its military hegemony, America can not force the world to finance its deficit savings, which is essential for the artificial maintenance of their economic position" (24).
The way to maintain U.S. hegemony is thus the use of force, a force supported the idea that it is always right. The Americans have always been crimes committed with impunity, and continue to disfigure the world.
