the 13th, cowardice and bigotry have bloodied the streets of Paris and
our indignation is huge. Our thoughts are with the victims and their
relatives. These lives, cut, broken, nothing will bring them back to us.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>But now what ? Here our proposition in one sentence : If you want peace, prepare for peace.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Don't
charge us with angelism - fashionable accusation. Without doubt we must
destroy Daesh, for the same reason it is necessary to treat the
symptoms of a serious illness as the same time we apply a basic
treatment. But make no mistake : the elimination of the caliphate won't
bring us more safety than the one of Bin Laden if a serious work is not
undertaken to heal the true causes of this tragedy.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Prepare
for peace, it means stop encouraging war. Martial posturing of Valls,
Sarkozy or any Le Pen exacerbate hatred at the same time they obscure
the real issues. For decades, the Western powers - especially France -
produce and export huge quantities of military equipment. The engaged
armies in the Middle-East or Africa support private interests at far
distance from the objectives set for the defense of the human rights and
democracy. This must stop. The West, France, should urgently take the
path of solidarity, civil construction and distribution of the weath for
the common good.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Prepare
for peace, it means support freedom and not try to further reduce it as
the system's players are doing with the same cynism that prevailed in
January. Tens of repressive laws voted last years have further
demonstrated their ineffectiveness. Rather than abandon itself into a
population control fantasy by useless and expensive black boxes, the
state would do better focus on more and better trained staff able to act
protecting what a democracy has most precious : lives of citizens and
their freedoms.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Prepare
for peace, it means fight violence. International violence against the
most vulnerable people than ours and subjected to post-colonial
dictatorship. Violence within our borders, exercised against those
excluded of the system, more and more numerous, more and more
marginalized. The criminals of November the 13th must be put out of
harm's way. But every citizen must interrogate himself/herself on the
missed rendez-vous and geopolitical cowardices of our democracies that
have brought this world to the dramatic situation which we see.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Our
emotion is huge but more than ever we must keep a cool head. In
politics, as in medecine, it does not accomplish anything if we didn't
pose the good diagnosis.</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span>==Spanish==</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>Si vis pacem, para pacem // Si quieres la paz, prepárate para la paz</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>El
13 de noviembre, actos cobardes y de fanatismo han llenado de sangre
las calles de París. Nuestra indignación es inmensa. Recordamos a las
víctimas y a sus allegados. Vidas robadas, rotas, que no se nos
devolverán.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>¿Y ahora qué? Nuestra postura cabe en una frase: Si quieres la paz, prepárate para la paz.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>Que
no nos tachen de optimistas inocentes —acusación de moda. No cabe duda
de que hay que destruir el Daesh por la misma razón que es necesario
curar los síntomas de una enfermedad grave mientras se aplica un
tratamiento intensivo. Pero no nos equivoquemos: acabar con el califato
no traerá más seguridad que Bin Laden si no se emprenden acciones serias
para abordar las causas reales de este drama.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>Preparase
para la paz significa dejar de fomentar la guerra. Las posiciones
marciales de Valls, Sarkozy y cualquier Le Pen exacerban el odio al
mismo tiempo que ocultan los problemas de verdad. Desde hace décadas,
los poderes occidentales —Francia en particular— producen y exportan
cantidades inmensas de equipamiento militar. Las tropas de Oriente Medio
y África mantienen unos intereses privados que distan mucho de los
objetivos establecidos para la defensa de los derechos humanos y la
democracia. Esto tiene que terminar. Occidente, Francia, tienen que
tomar urgentemente la vía de la solidaridad, de la contrucción civil y
de la distribución de la riqueza en favor del bien común.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>Prepararse
para la paz significa apoyar la libertad y no osar reducirla como hacen
los actores del sistema con el mismo cinismo de enero. La decena de
leyes liberticidas votadas en los últimos años han demostrado más aún su
ineficacia. En lugar de abandonarse a la fantasía de controlar a la
población por medio de cajas negras inútiles y de elevado coste, el
Estado debería centrarse en formar a más personal y mejor, personal
capaz de actuar para proteger lo más preciado de una democracia: la vida
de los ciudadanos y su libertad.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>Prepararse
para la paz significa luchar contra la violencia. Violencia
internacional contra pueblos más vulnerables que los nuestros y
sometidos a dictaduras post-coloniales. Violencia dentro de nuestras
fronteras, infligida a los que están excluidos del sistema, cada vez más
numerosos, cada vez más marginados. Se ha de neutralizar a los
criminales del 13 de noviembre. Pero todos los ciudadanos deben
cuestionarse con toda conciencia sobre los desencuentros y la cobardía
geopolítica de nuestras democracias que han arrastrado al mundo a la
dramática situación que estamos viendo.</span></div><div><span> </span></div><div><span>Aunque
llenos de emoción, hoy más que nunca hemos de mantener la cabeza fría.
En la política, como en la medicina, no se logra nada sin un diagnóstico
acertado.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span>--------<br><br></span></div><div><span>regards<br></span></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div>2015-11-18 20:00 GMT+01:00 James O'Keefe <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jokeefe@jamesokeefe.org" target="_blank">jokeefe@jamesokeefe.org</a>></span>:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div dir="ltr">Anyone have an English translation of the French Pirate Party's statement on the Paris attack?
