Dear Piero,

   The final declaration of the Movements in Athens has been 
formulated also with my personal participation and our agreement, as 
Hungarian Social Forum cwg. So I know it quite well. We have all 
demanded the total withdrawal of the foreign troops of occupation from 
Iraq and Afghanistan, but we did'nt say, that we were against 
decisions, as the italian government's one, partial it could be, directed 
to the complete desengagement from Iraq. Why should we reject such 
an essential political initiative, helping the isolation of Bush and Blair 
military policy? It is the first time since the beginning of the war on Iraq 
and Berlusconi's decisio to participate at it, that an italian government 
openly declare: "The war in Iraq is a serious mistake" (Word of italian 
foreign minister, Massimo D'Alema, pronounced on 27th May 2006.) 
Fact is, that this important political changement in the italian policy was 
taken not by Berlusconi, but by Prodi's center-left coalition. And Tony 
Blair will be obliged to swallaw this bitter pill in Rome. He must realize 
that "the opposition and resistance to the war and occupation of Iraq 
have exposed the British and US strategy as a failure" - as we have 
written in the declaration of the Assembly of the Movements. In 
conclusion, my opinion is, that we have to push for the total withdrawal 
of the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, without rejecting passes and 
mesures going in that sense. The partial withdrawal of the italian 
troops from Iraq is going in that sense! We have to fight for the total 
withdrawal with patience and perseverence, not with intolerence! vis a 
vis of correct and positive decisions. Only by acting so, we will acquire 
the sympathy of people who will not participate at your meeting around 
Castel Sant'Angelo, but at the National Day parade in Fori Imperiali 
with Napolitano, Prodi, Bertinotti, Marini and Blair as their guest.
