aftermath of 11 September 2001, world leaders in the United States recognized the victim of a terrorist attack and gave the President Gerge Bush the opportunity to become a statesman. Only today, the international community with great disappointment, it had to change his mind and the general negative attitude to the United States reached a historic high. What advantage has taken to keep the prisoners locked up co n allegations and without trial? Certainly has halved the proportion of countries demoCA Raticate around the world who saw United States the leading country in the field of human rights. With regard to international relations, is evident from the statements of a senior U.S. defense official quoted by journalist David Rose argued that the words: "for each detainee at Guantanamo, it creates ten more terrorists."
The United States is the first to propose their own model of democracy in the world, but their aversion to democracy is often demonstrated in many situations. First of all, the U.S. blocked its funding until the UN provide support abortion, but in a democracy no citizen may decide not to pay taxes because they disagreed with a political party in the country. The U.S. does not recognize the International Criminal Tribunal fear that some Americans can be accused of war crimes and still have not put the signature on the first human rights document. And you could still continue.
But we will look after the September 11 same the American invasion in Afghanistan, where many men were arrested and the authorities of the naval base of Guantanamo prisoners were notified of the arrival three days earlier, when The first plane landed at the base in early 2002, and the images showed suffered the inhumane open cages where prisoners were confined.
The formal processes that take place in 2003 are called military commissions, and so far no prisoner has appeared in court. In December 2006 there were about fifty Cubans who fled Fidel Castro to request political asylum in the base, were imprisoned and subjected to very harsh measures, was prohibited from even using the phone to contact family members or lawyers .
What, then? I think that a people can not abandon its values \u200b\u200bof democracy at first of difficulty. Today, the torture can not be justified with no motivation and you can not force an army to use brutal methods, with the motto that applies to Guantanamo "Bound by honor to defend freedom." History teaches us clearly that every time he acted with such means to defend ourselves from a threat, they were Nazis or the Soviets, it became increasingly account of the horrors committed in time.
This article is not to justify any act of terrorism, stressing the absolute conviction, but only to remain faithful to the principles of civilization and democracy . The procedural system may have many defects, but it remains the only effective without resorting to torture and military commissions.
