War and the dead in Afghanistan

The war in Afghanistan has now returned the dead bodies of four Italian soldiers. How many more must die before the policy takes responsibility to put an end to this senseless tragedy?

How much blood will still flow before the Italian Parliament chooses to discuss openly and honestly for the war in Afghanistan and pull out Italy from this disaster?

How many coffins we will have to bring before our eyes to push the RAI to arrange a serious debate on the war in Afghanistan? When our public broadcasting service will help the Italians to understand what happened, what's going on and how you can do to prevent more deaths? When that happens will be invited to speak also the peacemakers, not just the usual suspects?

Our young soldiers are dying because the military government continues to pass on the task of solving a huge problem that the military have no chance of solving. As yet we have to endure this mess?

Therefore, while we join the excruciating pain of the family of Gianni Manca, Marco Pedone, Sebastian Villa, Francesco Vannozzi ask once again to Italy to abandon the path of war and bankruptcy and ineffectual efforts to build a ' political alternative to this unnecessary slaughter of innocents, truth and legality.

In my opinion there is the exit strategy: we must move from military to political and civil side of the victims of decades of war, oppression and poverty. We need to support the Afghan civil society that is committed to respect for human rights, Reconstruction and Reconciliation (the most important lever of democracy in Afghanistan). We need to increase significantly the actions of cooperation in order to meet the vital needs of the population.
