Si vis pacem, para pacem // If you want peace, prepare for peace
November the 13th, cowardice and bigotry have bloodied the streets of
Paris and our indignation is huge. Our thoughts are with the victims and
their relatives. These lives, cut, broken, nothing will bring them back
to us.
But now what ? Here our proposition in one sentence : If you want peace,
prepare for peace.
Don't charge us with angelism - fashionable accusation. Without doubt we
must destroy Daesh, for the same reason it is necessary to treat the
symptoms of a serious illness as the same time we apply a basic
treatment. But make no mistake : the elimination of the caliphate won't
bring us more safety than the one of Bin Laden if a serious work is not
undertaken to heal the true causes of this tragedy.
Prepare for peace, it means stop encouraging war. Martial posturing of
Valls, Sarkozy or any Le Pen exacerbate hatred at the same time they
obscure the real issues. For decades, the Western powers - especially
France - produce and export huge quantities of military equipment. The
engaged armies in the Middle-East or Africa support private interests at
far distance from the objectives set for the defense of the human rights
and democracy. This must stop. The West, France, should urgently take
the path of solidarity, civil construction and distribution of the weath
for the common good.
Prepare for peace, it means support freedom and not try to further
reduce it as the system's players are doing with the same cynism that
prevailed in January. Tens of repressive laws voted last years have
further demonstrated their ineffectiveness. Rather than abandon itself
into a population control fantasy by useless and expensive black boxes,
the state would do better focus on more and better trained staff able to
act protecting what a democracy has most precious : lives of citizens
and their freedoms.
Prepare for peace, it means fight violence. International violence
against the most vulnerable people than ours and subjected to
post-colonial dictatorship. Violence within our borders, exercised
against those excluded of the system, more and more numerous, more and
more marginalized. The criminals of November the 13th must be put out of
harm's way. But every citizen must interrogate himself/herself on the
missed rendez-vous and geopolitical cowardices of our democracies that
have brought this world to the dramatic situation which we see.
Our emotion is huge but more than ever we must keep a cool head. In
politics, as in medecine, it does not accomplish anything if we didn't
pose the good diagnosis.
