So corriere.it says that Saddam Hussein was hanged at dawn in the green zone of Baghdad. Well I don't really care for his personal destiny, besides I am persuaded that this was his doppelganger, with his beard-hazed face and those crooked teeth and the wide opened eyes.
Anyway if they want to send to death criminals they should at least show it to the people in the open. Why being merciless without shame, and yet being ashamed of showing what this actually means? (fear to die, cries, rhetoric of the authority, dangling jerked body, the snap of the neck breaking, hangman's hood, etc.)

Corriere.it should say how I can always be shocked by reading the usual things about the falling country instead: like those who die waiting for some ER to open for them. This item reminds me of an eleven months old boy I know (already mentioned on this blog a while ago), who fell from the stairs and smashed his head against the (luckily wooden) floor five meters below-- just two weeks ago. Few minutes after the accident he was hoisted on an ambulance which then waited 45 fucking-minutes in front of the house calling every hospital in the city for a neurosurgery with some vacant space slash time for him (luckily the little boy is recuperating now.)

And corriere.it should say how much I am disgusted to read about Somalia again, of course.
The hypocrisy and lies bubbling all over the phrases of the journalists.
The "cheering crowds". The others who already miss the "Islamic courts" and throw stones to the peaceful military convoys.
A Somali supposed-president escorted by Ethiopian soldiers! It would be like calling the Israeli army to protect Egypt. Only the U.S. could think of such a perversion. To Support the "lords of war" that everybody fears and detest (tribal leaders only respected by their closest circles), and to call in the old enemy to help: millions of people who have been starving and fighting and escaping for fifteen years are offered this as the only way out.
I wonder, is there a real choice, for the starving and traumatized and forever wounded, between the endless war (American way) and the ordered arrogance of the Islamic rule?
But the thing is, the Islamic rule proved to be able to bring peace and law --if only because not based on corruption like any other fighting part-- to a people who forgot even the meaning of those words. Corriere.it doesn't even try to understand why.
