The news of a chemical attack on unarmed civilians in Syria and bombing of hospitals where the wounded were hospitalized are shocking ”. This was stated by the Foreign Minister, Angelino Alfano. "Italy - adds Alfano - will be at the forefront of the UN Security Council in the emergency meeting, requested by France and the United Kingdom, and tomorrow at the Brussels Conference on Syria, in condemning the use of mass destruction against the Syrian population and in forcefully demanding that those responsible for this crime against humanity be identified. The international community - concludes Alfano - has the duty to put an end to the deep suffering of the Syrian people and to restore peace, hope and the future to that great country ”. 

The news just broken by the news agencies about the cowardly air attack in Syria using chemical agents was incredible. The scenes of children and adults with foam in the mouth and evident damage to the nervous system are on everyone's eyes. Whoever ordered the attack deserves the judgment of an international criminal court for crimes against humanity, against peace and against the respect of every banal moral and ethical law. The international community, now, must not only make proclamations but act with real resolutions, which give a clear mandate to the forces of a multi-allied coalition to intervene and restore peace to a tormented and forgotten land. Land of unspeakable atrocities.
