Still waiting for Italy to unban 'Lion of the Desert'

The historical epic Lion of the Desert about the atrocities done by the Italian fascists in Lybia is banned for almost 30 years now in Italy. It is because it shows that Italians used concentration camps in the 30's, long before the Germans. Instead of unbaning films for showing the truth, you Italians make films which present the murderous black-shirt Italian fascists as heroes. What is next? Film about the heroism of the Nazis in their "struggle" against the Jews? I know that Germans would never make such a thing. But Italians, that's another story.

you moron, what you mean with "But Italians that's another story"
are you comparing 10.000.000 of victims of nazi camps (jews, rom, gays, handicapped, POWs) with less then 10.000 victims of italian stupid invasion of Lybia and Etiopia?

who many deads have done English across all their empire... just arriving and claiming land in the name of his/her majesty, India, Persia, palestina, Africa, north america... wars that caused millions of dead for more than 200 years.

as you say Germanswill never do same errors, Italians "that's another story"... but seems that some one is still doing the same bloody war for the last 2 centuries.
