PERICLES AND THE DRIVER OF BIN LADEN
So the most controversial of U.S. governors, the butcher Rick Perry, when a reporter asked about the case of a Mexican death row: "The court in The has no jurisdiction in Texas. " At that time, Jose Ernesto Medellin, despite protests from the Mexican government and the petition for review of his case by the International Court of Justice, was executed in prison in Huntsville. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that the federal government had no authority to enforce unilateral split Texans opinions of international justice. A statement that puts U.S. out of orbit and international court compromises the Treaty of Vienna on Consular Relations and the guarantee that they pose to any detained foreign national to seek assistance from the consulate of their country, and Texas has become a feudal castle, where the sword-wielding greater demand, and where the law is the daughter of the sensitivity of a handful of cowboys rivals knights round table which pays tribute to gun for the gunmen, Mr Perry and his Colt 45.
seems that the American dream has been proposed to agree with Hobbes, and take beyond his Leviathan, making the international scene in a state of nature belligerent and making democracy a butcher hostel full of injustice in medieval style. Something of grace should ask the Yemeni Salim Hamdan legal impenetrability that Perry has given Texas. Yes, because it seems that certain countries do not enjoy not only the possibility of appealing to international law, but far from it, its citizens hardly know which law will condemn them and come to consensus and country. Salim Al poor and have it abundantly clear: U.S. condemns you, or rather, a handful of Marines with nothing better to do than give a little ass.
The sentence Salim says he is guilty of "material support for terrorism." !!!!!!!!! All these cries seem little when we discovered that Salim Ahmed Hamdan was a driver, he worked four years for Bin Laden (as he had done for Joselito) because he needed money (earned about 126 euros per month), Khalid Sheik Mohammed, mastermind of the attacks the twin towers, Salim testified that the poor had nothing to do with military operations, among other things because I was only prepared to change the oil in my car, wash the filters and little else.
Guantánamo must have a legal outlet, among other things for that history remember Bush and Blair as genocide bloodiest century. Of the 800 suspected terrorists were detained in Guantanamo since January 11, 2002, 500 have been released free of any guilt, but of course taking their shoulders the weight of systematic torture which our civilization has imposed upon them during the painful of their lives and during their stay illegally in prison. Salim has lacked the basic rights during the six years he has been imprisoned without knowing their jobs, love illegal interrogation and torture that has been imposed. For all makes sense, a Marine will condemn him to life imprisonment by a stretch of the imagination and keep the discourse of the great metropolis peacemaker para justificar que la muerte de algunos no vale una mierda si con ella pagamos la estabilidad y el orden de las democracias que tanto nos costó fundar.
Que pasaría si en realidad fuésemos los malos…. Si nuestra forma de vida no fuese más que el reflejo de una carnicería y una depredación sobre los pueblos que surten de materias primas a nuestro tecnificado mundo. ¿Qué deberíamos de hacer? Pericles por boca de Tucídides lo tenía claro y cito un fragmento de la Historia de la Guerra del Peloponeso: “Este imperio que poseéis (se refiere a la democracia ateniense y sus colonias) ya es como una tiranía: conseguirla parece ser una injusticia, pero abandonarla constituye un peligro”. ¿Estamos in that situation?, are we tyrants and now we only perpetuate the status quo of violence to prevent them from turning against us? Are we fair to the Middle East when he was sentenced ideologically hiding our practice based on strength, submission and systematic injustice?
Thucydides has the solution and the problem: democracy needs of war and conquest to maintain comfort and with it the cohesion of its free citizens.
Look for where you want the reader, but remember that when you move your hands, blood spatter that is on your side.
