“Motivi finanziari e logistici impediscono di lasciare entro l'anno”: così il comandante della NSA alla Maddalena G. M. Billy risponde alla lettera di sollecitazioni fattagli pervenire dal sindaco Angelo Comiti. Un’altra nota evidenzia invece la differenza di fondo tra le dichiarazioni unilaterali del Ministro Martino, il quale alcuni mesi fa aveva lanciato questa notizia “bomba” del ritiro USA dall’isola sarda e le reali intenzioni dei comandi U.S.A. Il comandante Billy precisa infatti che: “La data di chiusura della base di Santo Stefano non rientra nelle responsabilità della Marina Americana, essendo questa struttura di proprietà demaniale in uso della Marina Italiana, questa ultima è responsabile di qualsiasi decisione relativa al suo futuro". E il Comitato nazionale per il ritiro dei militari italiani dall’Iraq rilancia la mobilitazione contro le basi.

23-year-old American peace activist Rachel Corrie was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer aiming for a Palestinian home on March 16, 2003. Her powerful emails and journal entries have been transformed into a one-woman play, but political pressure might keep it from ever reaching a U.S. stage.

Lo scorso 22 dicembre, il governo degli Stati Uniti è stato citato in giudizio da alcuni pacifisti pordenonesi con la richiesta che vengano rimosse le armi atomiche presenti ad Aviano, in quanto pericolose ed in contrasto con il Trattato di Non Proliferazione Nucleare, sottoscritto e ratificato dall’Italia, che sancisce senza ombra di dubbio l’obbligo per il nostro paese di non ospitare ordigni nucleari e per gli Stati Nucleari, come gli USA, di non dispiegare tali armamenti al di fuori del proprio territorio. La prima udienza è stata fissata, su richiesta dei promotori, per il prossimo 7 luglio, alla vigilia del decennale della sentenza con cui la Corte Internazionale di Giustizia ha stabilito che l’uso (o anche la semplice minaccia dell’uso) di armi nucleari è in contrasto con il diritto internazionale e che gli stati hanno l’obbligo giuridico di condurre negoziati in buona fede che conducano al completo smantellamento di tutte le armi nucleari. I promotori della causa (Tiziano Tissino, Giuseppe Rizzardo, Michele Negro, Carlo Mayer, Monia Giacomini) invitano ad aderire il maggior numero possibile di persone, dai singoli cittadini alle realtà organizzate.
