Rinaldo Francesca Hardworking and always in constant motion as an adorable top, Hillary Clinton continues to seduce us, demonstrating to the world as the role of U.S. Secretary of State was invented specifically for you - or a thinker of his caliber, anyway. This is evident when one realizes that this role is primarily to shoulder in the grueling travel from country to country, reminding us, recalcitrant subjects, to do our homework and obey with so much enthusiasm without beating around the bush, to prevent his (our) bosses lose patience and decide to give us a demonstration of what he is capable of their arsenal (or their departments black ops, as regards the more fortunate nations).
It seems only yesterday when, in October last year, Madam C ran around in the Balkans - a region which, according to what the lady in his 2008 election campaign, had already at that time received its baptism of fire during the famous the war in Bosnia, undaunted by a plane landing "under sniper fire", a story that we had kept respectfully with bated breath ... to the revelation that it had been a playful fib . [1]
However this time, no longer wearing the robe of First Lady, but the most intimidating of Secrétaire d'État , his message to the Bosnian lo scorso autunno è stato piuttosto qualcosa sull'amorevole tono di: abbracciate nuove riforme, entrate nell'UE, entrate nella NATO, e preferibilmente datevi anche una mossa, ché non abbiamo tutto il giorno – o qualcosa del genere. [2]
Novembre invece, come qualcuno ricorderà, è trascorso relativamente senza imprevisti, se si eccettua la trascurabile rivelazione secondo la quale Hillary R Clinton avrebbe pensato bene di tenere sotto sorveglianza i diplomatici dell'ONU , seguendo la direttiva nota come NHCD (National HumInt Collection Directive) e includendo nel dossieraggio dati come informazioni biometriche, numeri di cellulare, transazioni di carte di credito, emails, spostamenti, nomi di famigliari, etc etc (in short, anything outside the ordinary administration: Please take away from the face that look shocked). [3] In December
then, Madam C gave us a hilarious gag that in Bahrain, where his intention to give a reprimand to the Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was twice frustrated by resolute intention to the latter not to be found, giving rise to a sort of hide and seek through the corridors of the hotel Ritz Carlton in Manama : [4] Àp0ti at this point can not help but imagine one of those delicious scenes of comic chases the rooms in a hotel, as only the great Peter Sellers was able to give the general those screen comedies of the late '60s, with the obligatory picture of the chase peeping from behind a corner or, as I know, and hides nell'immancabile basket of laundry.
The latest release of Hillary Rodham Clinton (hereafter HRC) was four days ago in Doha, Qatar, when madam has given to an ecstatic audience a series of warnings and good-natured scolding, but also very tender congratulations on the progress so far done in the "region" (as is constantly being defined in a geographical area that HRC's speech - imagine - would extend from the Nile to the Gulf of Aden, "the region", why bother with details?).
Congratulations, you know, are indeed necessary, as taught by the great HRC's predecessor, John Foster Dulles , that's how they should be treated native wild: sometimes "you give them a pat on the head, so they think that you love. " [5]
"It will perhaps spoke of slavery, a phenomenon still rampant in the states of the Arabian peninsula? [6] asks a reader.
No. "Then maybe a accennino human rights in countries where, for example, homosexuality is considered a crime punishable by death [7], where a man has the right - guaranteed by law - to brutalize his wife? ". [8] Of course not.
Okay, we feel the impatience Vs: no time in half, then let us look at the essence of the speech [9] and try to understand what are the priorities according to Mrs. HRC. "[...]
here in Qatar, where of course the World Cup will be held in 2022, we see many examples of commitment to innovation "aah, see: the most urgent things first!
" We all know that 'region' is facing major challenges and important [...] and we have much work to do.
" Young [In the 'region'] have difficulty finding a job. In many areas there are not enough jobs: in the 'region', a five young people are unemployed, in other areas the percentage is even higher. While some countries have made enormous progress in governance, in many other institutions, people are tired of corrupt and stagnant political order. [People] calls for reforms to make its government more efficient, more responsive and more open .
Of course, Hillary and all relevant criticism, when you think - if someone would be likely to forget - that come from the representative of an administration that in 2010 U.S. has allowed private companies to create more jobs scattered throughout the world than they have been created in the United States [10], successfully reaching a record 48 million Americans on the poverty [11], and was preceded by another administration whose ex-vice president (Dick Cheney one that needs no introduction) is keeping awake his lawyers to stay out of prison, given some of his previous corruption when was CEO of Halliburton. [12] But still, please.
" And all this is happening against a backdrop of increasing scarcity of resources ”.
Aah, ma di questo non mi preoccuperei più di tanto, Hillary: in fondo stai parlando a un'audience che sa bene quanto i paesi della “regione” abbiano saputo mettere le mani avanti, accaparrandosi milioni di ettari di terra coltivabile nel continente africano , con la complicità di governanti locali che preferiscono la bustarella al proiettile, e in uno spirito da far impallidire le più folli scorribande coloniali dei secoli scorsi. [13]
Comunque, per carità, non direi che questo traballante discorso sia da buttare, Hillary: l'importante adesso è non cadere in un qualche banale cliché sul deserto, sulla sabbia, o che so io.
“ Ogni paese, naturalmente, has clearly defined its own challenges, and successes. But in too many places, in too many ways, the foundations of the 'region' are sinking in the sand .
Oh-oh. Forget it.
" So to my friends, the leaders of these countries, I say: You can help build a future in which your young people to believe, who want to stay and who are prepared to defend . Defending
... defend ... keyword, hey? I wonder where you ever want to end up ...
" If the leaders do not offer a positive vision and do not give young people a way to make a significant contribution, others will fill this void: terrorist groups and extremist elements ".
Aaah, here! It seemed to me! In other words, young people of the "region": if you really want to shed a little 'blood, at least try to do so under the command of the armed forces of your country, defending the future and contributing significantly . Enlisted today!
Why miss the opportunity to use the most advanced weapons of the moment? Those who, for decades the various government departments are entering into the "region" barrel of billions of dollars in arms every time? From Bill Clinton in 2000 (six and a half billion dollars in the F-16 United Arab Emirates) [14], through George W Bush 2007 (a ten year contract for twenty billion dollars in advanced weaponry, including satellite remote-controlled bombs to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar) [15], to finish with Barack Obama in January last year (more than two thousand TOW-2 anti-tank missiles worth 177 million dollars, sold to Saudi Arabia, 1800 Javelin missiles sold to Jordan, worth 338 million dollars, and 1600 "smart" bombs, 800 bombs one-ton - a ton - and 400 bombs, "bunker-buster" sold to the United Arab Emirates, for the value of 290 million dollars). [16]
Because - let's face it frankly - to "Stabilize the region," nothing is more effective than a healthy, magical shower of weapons of mass destruction to scatter a bit 'here and there to the highest bidders.
They face between our thoughts inevitably the wise words of the late Bill Hicks, who, imagining that all contact 'then-president George HW Bush, he said: "This sell 164 fighter jets to South Korea, sold 240 tanks to Kuwait, and then there is the talk of how important it is that he remains head of the nation because 'the world is still very dangerous' ... Of course it is: Thanks to you, fucker! "[17]
