Dear Salvatore Conte:
Thank you very much for your supporting letter.
People everywhere have an unquestionable desire
for democracy, for control over
their lives,
for a chance to build a better life for their children.
These are
the dreams of the Pakistani people.
I once again thank you for writing to me
at this perilious time in my country's history
where we stand between
the forces of freedom and the forces of
dictatorship.
Sincerely,
Ms. Benazir Bhutto
Our
devotion is for You who are also our leader
S.C.
and the Friends of Elissa
BENAZIR
our love
for you will never die
please, in
your eternal life,
protect
everywhere your sons
to the man (iBis)
who ordered this impiety:
cadat ante diem mediaque
inhumatus harena
Virgil,
(A)En. 4.620
plenius ingenio sit miser
ille meo
Ovid,
Ibis 1-(90)-642
What
Ibis is: read it
Why
Ovid did write it 2.000 years ago:
you can understand it only
today
My last letter (in this life)

Dear Ms. President Bhutto,
thank you so much for your touching message.
It was an emotion to receive your words and I have shared them with the Friends
of Elissa.
In Europe it's almost impossible to receive a message from our Istitutions:
most
of them are false democracies.
We believe in one universal Community, made by qualified leaders,
sharing the
eternal values of Humanity and Human Kind.
By this point of view, we feel your fight is the same fight of ourselves
and we
feel you are our leader even if we don't live in Pakistan.
My first apprehension is for your safety.
I know this fight is against evil forces with
no dignity.
I pray you to be prudent and to preserve your
precious life of brave and fair woman-leader.
Please don't expose your life if not strictly necessary for the Fate of your
people.
I greatly admire the Pakistan men which are active in your protection, risking
their own lifes:
it's an ancient duty, the most important for a
loyal man.
Thank you again for your words,
and with our deferences,
Salvatore Conte
the
Camellias of Benazir
delicate evidences of Her neverending Love for
Her People
each year they flower again until Water and
Love are around them
(from the Garden of Elissa Conte in Rome
but Pakistan ground since today)
A Benazir da
Loredana
Chi non piange la madre,
chi non piange la moglie,
chi parla con occhio
asciutto
quando il corpo della
madre o della moglie è ancora caldo,
non solo costui non può
governare lo Stato
ma deve temere il giorno
della propria morte.
