29.08.2006 Il gran giorno della manifestazione è arrivato. Pur con tutti i se e i ma possibili e (forse) auspicabili la convocazione di Assisi si è svolta. A poche ore dalla conclusione un dato appare chiaro, netto e condivisibile: la pomposa e roboante comunità internazionale(l'ONU, l'Unione Europea e quant'altro li segue) non può ancora una volta rimanere inerte, deve muoversi. Mai nei suoi decenni di storia l'Europa ha realizzato una grande iniziativa di vera politica estera. Nel 1995 il mai troppo compianto Alexander Langer espressamente scrisse "L'Europa muore o nasce a Sarajevo". Il convitato rimase di pietra. Sabra e Chatila, Rwanda, Sarajevo, Tuzla, Sebrenica, tanti i momenti in cui l'ONU è rimasta spettatrice passiva, salvo poi intervenire male e tardi. Sarebbe finalmente auspicabile che si inauguri una storia diversa, che il passato non si ripeta e possa affermarsi una iniziativa seria, reale, forte, decisiva della comunità internazionale, roboante anche nei fatti e non solo nelle foreste di carta accumulata seduti nelle comode e soffici poltrone del Palazzo di Vetro. - di Alessio Di Florio
