Italy’s Role In a New European Disorder

The burden of leadership is an
unbelievably complex and cumbersome role these days. Every day we see
evidence of ineffectual direction in the world, and at a time when the
world needs guidance most. Perpetual conflicts, paradigm shifts in
politics and policy, and the role of corporations in the military policy
mix all exacerbate and curtail otherwise honorable men and women.
Meanwhile, war and the rumors of it haunt the public consciousness. We
are in danger, and we all know it. Good soldiers and decent politicians
cannot even perform, in betwixt the wearying tribulations conjured from
behind the scenes of détente. Here’s one more view on Arab Spring, the
Libya debacle, and the plight of millions lost in a sea of uncertainty.

“The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.” – Niccolo Machiavelli
