DON'T VOTE FOR THIS MISSION

A call for support of the Senators and Deputies who have announced that they 
will vote against the decree for re-funding of the [Italian participation in 
the Nato] mission in Afghanistan.
In Afghanistan, there is a war in which Italy fully participates through the 
mission led by Nato.
The Prodi government, carrying on from the previous government, has decided 
to maintain Italian troops in Afghanistan without changing in any way their 
military presence.
These last years, we have protested - with no if and no but - against all 
wars, including the war in Afghanistan.
For these reasons, Italy cannot and should not participate in this mission, 
and pacifist left-wing forces, starting with the PRC, should not support it.
We call on members of Parliament to cast a vote that is consistent with 
their own convictions, and we call on l'Unione to acknowledge this clear 
stance and make a turn toward an 'exit strategy' from Afghanistan in 
conformity with article 11 of the [Italian] constitution that is written in 
the governmental program.
