“Yesterday on Bosnia and today at Ukraine” he wrote on SundayUnit Marco Boato, a long-time and often countercurrent politician, in a speech of rare political intelligence in which he recalls the generous battle of the 90s by Alexander Langer. The leader of the Greens, who unfortunately ended up committing suicide, as a passionate peacemaker was convinced that in order to avoid the genocide of the Bosnians and the tragedy of Srebrenica, all that remained was a military intervention under the aegis of the UN. Like "yesterday in Bosnia, today in Ukraine", the West is faced with a dramatic choice: everyone hopes for a diplomatic solution to the conflict but peace does not rain from heaven and sometimes, as in this case, it also comes from arms. "If (in Ukraine) we continued to exclude the use of force - says Boato -, we would continue to leave the field free for the strongest and best armed". This is why, like yesterday in Bosnia, today in “un military intervention in Ukraine it is not against peace, but the premise for finally achieving a diplomatic peace agreement". Holy and very clear words that treasure Langer's noble lesson from thirty years ago and which we hope will also penetrate the minds of one-way pacifists. Certainly Marco Boato deserves a big round of applause.
