...and now, let's patrol Italy's streets with the Army

This is the new campaign bluff in Italy. Despite the fact that, statistically speaking, the streets in Rome are safer than, for instance, Amsterdam and London, Berlusconi decided that we need the Army on the streets. This is to create fear, not security, usual spur to make people worried and in need of certainties and it was the same kind of campaign played in the US after 9/11 by the neocons. In Italy you can get killed more likely in your workplace rather than in the streets (statistics at hand) and it is the Nation where there are more deaths on work than in any other EU country. Maybe the Army should be put in dockyards or builders' yards... yours, dear Berlusconi, would be better, damn fool !
