Opinion about London bombs

"Across this space I want to give the innocent civil victims of London my condolence, without forgetting those that die daily in Iraq and other countries..."

Iraq, Palestina, Afghanistan... are stages that pass for us unobserved. There every day people die, they cut human lives, they finish projects of life. Constructing your own project of life is so difficult, to somebody who believes superior to you, decides to finish it. And this happens every day, in the face of passivity of the observers, without no institution competent with enough power interested in stopping this impunity.


But, who has the power? The power is in hands of those who have provoked these wars, the war that plunders Africa, the war of the oil that plunders the Middle East, the economic war that is plundering Latin America... And I hear saying Blair on television that his determination to defend "his values" is greater than those who sows dead and destruction. And I ask myself: who sows death and destruction are not precisely your values? Tony Blair supported an unilateral war with the great part of the international opinion against him, who is the criminal of war? And which are the values which you say that you deffend? The democracy? Which democracy? Stealing the oil to the Arabian people?


On the other hand, they are shocked when they receive the bombs at home, when the dead men/women are from home and blood boils in the streets of the citizens of those that he neede to pick up the votes. Votes complicit in what they make. And these are the consequences. The consequences of the war among civilizations that they have created, and that like always, ends up paying the civil population with blood. The solution to the conflict is evident, a social revolution which remove the power of these bastards. Not even the anti-terrorist laws (that they're also terrorists, because they use terrorist methods), neither the police controls, nor the follow-ups, nor the restriction of the fundamental freedoms will bring any solution. All these measures, in any case, aggravate the problem. Because they restrict our freedom, they restrict the working people. And the one who creates these wars is not the working people.



So, across this space I want to give the innocent civil victims of London my condolence, without forgetting those that die daily in Iraq and other countries, because of those who these days will say and repeat words like "freedom", "democracy", "anti-terrorist struggles" ... Our life is as valuable as an Iraqi or a Palestinian... but I don't think the same about the life of the uncle Sam and his accomplices, it's not so valuable and honest as ours. Because I think the one who enriches working is more honest than the one who enriches stealing. And I don't need tears.
