It’s difficult to write anything reasonable or even just say anything reasonable, after having seen Giuliana.
She’s desperate. Just as we who have seen and heard her are. And Pier as well, who we send all the love we’re capable of to, and also to our friends and colleagues at the Manifesto.
It’s easy to feel impotent when faced with her tears.
But it’s wrong. Because we’re not impotent. 
We can do something, and we can do a lot.
For Giuliana, and to bring to an end that mess that some people have the courage to call new Iraqi democracy.
To bring to an end the many messes that exist in the majority of the world.
We mustn’t listen to those who say that you can’t do anything. That we haven’t got a voice. We do have voices. And if all of us together become powerful voices, they can’t not listen to us.
 
We can do it. More than that. We must do it.
Because there’s nothing more important than a human life. Than the life of Giuliana, and the lives of millions of people who suffer from the conflicts and the forgotten wars in the world.
Too often we let the people in command pretend they don’t know.
Too often we close our eyes and cover our ears so as not to see and hear that they kill, undisturbed, in our name, because that’s what they do, they kill in our name.
