06/28/2006 Noi del gruppo romano Statunitensi per la pace e la giustizia scriviamo questa lettera per chiedere che il governo italiano ripensi alcuni "aiuti" che dà al nostro paese. Riteniamo questi "aiuti" contro gli interessi sia del popolo italiano sia di quello statunitense. Alcuni di questi "aiuti" sono il frutto di passate scelte di altri governi. Ci preme invitare il nuovo governo Prodi a un cambio di rotta. Cominciamo con il chiedere di ripensare la presenza in Italia di un certo numero di bombe nucleari di proprietà degli Stati Uniti, al momento 90, depositate nelle basi di Aviano (Pordenone) e Ghedi Torre (Brescia). Tale presenza comporta che sia gli Stati Uniti, "stato nucleare", sia l'Italia, "stato non-nucleare", finiscano per violare lo spirito del Trattato di non proliferazione nucleare del quale sono entrambi firmatari. Infine, il più noto "aiuto" è stato quello di mandare truppe in Afghanistan e in Iraq. È ora di ritirare tutte le truppe. Chiediamo al governo italiano di portare i suoi soldati a casa. Chiediamo di non sostenere le guerre statunitensi in alcun modo, e invece di sostenere i popoli dell'Iraq e dell'Afghanistan con programmi di cooperazione affidate alle ONG che operano da tempo in questi paesi.
