Peace Nobel Prize to UE: The unbearable lightness of political correctness
Il Giornale, October 13th, 2012
How come the gentlemen of the Nobel Prize Committee are so armored in their tuxedos not ho feel the cold or the storm ot this european autumn? They prefere to pat Europe on the shoulders about its strains, ok, but wait! how did they get the pathetic idea to award the EU the Nobel Prize for Peace? What fantasizing reveries drove them? What entitled them to an unbearably politically correct drift which can’t but bring damages? Younever resolve troubles by sweeping them under the carpet!
Spain has 50% youth unemployment rate, she is in good company by the way, Greece has just been the stage of protests against Merkel where Swastikas were waved; anti-Semitism resumes to the extent of forcing Swedish and French Jews to leave; we are taken aback by the impact with Islamic immigrants communities soaked in radical extremism.
Serbs, Kosovars, Croatians, Azeris, Armenians, Kurds, Cypriots, Ossetians, Chechens, Albanians, Macedonians … Just ask any of them as well as any other parties of conflicts how their life is. These restored conflicts are see-through under a thin layer of skin, which just healed often with a little help from my friends, the Americans. Just ask residents of metropolitan areas, trade unions, and governments, which by the way are by now economically conflicting with each other, just ask them whether they see this Europe as aworld of peace.
Europeendeavors in mediation always succeed in worsening situations, for instance in the Middle East, where EU’s anti-Israeli touch repeatedly fails. The bloc’s support to the new Arab revolutions’ governments is concerned just to please and appease; it is not capable to hammer out agreements to secure moderate regimes. On the contrary, it lets the Muslim Brotherhoodadfirm its power and its shariahabove everything without questioning it and submitting aid to good behaviour toward women, freedom of religion, speach, sexual behaviour.
The Nobel Prize has already been up to all sort of mischief, just think it landed to Yasser Arafat, creator of mass terrorism; it exalted Mohammed El Baradei, who when chairing IAEA, played down to almost nil Iran’s nuclear danger; bizarrely, it awarded Obama its prize because he was not George Bush; and Jimmy Carter too, whereas the was so much room for critics. And counting.
They all tell the fairy tale of a north europeanmentality too good to be true, which through its fantasies shuns real problems, i.e. the ones pertaining to a Europe we all covet. A united and genuinely peaceful Europe, not this fake we face today.
