Thanks to our media, it is generally known that the global financial crisis originated in the United States of America. Everything began on crash of the mortgage system. The reason is that the banks’ loans were given to the citizens with unfair conditions, so these people from the beginning were condemned not pay off their loans. Apparently no one expected that the level of unpaid loans will be so high that the banks themselves will make a loss.
But how did it become a world crisis? Many foreign banks bought the mortgaes from American banks in order to make big profits in short time. The American mortages were very cheap. Many banks organized branches in offshore countries that are not considered as affiliates of this banks officially. These stores were made to work with American mortages. So banks avoided the payment of taxes in their home country.
Then came the crisis and many American banks were declared as bankrupt. The mortgages have become useless and foreign banks lost a lot of money.

But how is this fact exploited by some states? I explain that in example of Russia. The government of this country pumped several billion rubles in the domestic financial market to reduce the consequences of the crisis. They are used allmast all reserves, only to avoid the crash of their own economy. And what say the Russian politicians? They explain that Russia’s economic feels itself very well and that the United States are evil because they tried to destroy economics of foreign countries with help of this crysis but crashed only their own economic. This is pure propaganda.

This theme was a taboo for the media for a long time. No one dared to publicly critical about it, because you could be accused that you are a racist. This was the problem for a long time. But when 2 young foreigners attacked a pensioner in Munich and harmed him, concealment of the problem was finally concluded. From now the newspapers and other media feel finally free to report in detail about this issue. But how this problem should be solved? Should we try to change these people? Or simply deport those people? Or maybe we the prison is a solution for the problem? A good question, I think. I believe that the first thing we have to do is to teach these people to respect our country and the people living here. Who does not recognise our values or our country, may no longer live here. That is my opinion. No, seriously, how long should we tolerate people here who are not willing to tolerate our Western culture? I am talking here not about the acceptance. I can understand that some people from another cultural background can’t accept Christianity and some based on it values. If they choose a life in this country they should at least behave respectfully to the people leaving here. Otherwise, they should choose a different place to live.

Almost no media in the world stay silent, after these tragic events in this Asian country. A big natural disaster hit a country that, althought of the military dictatorship and centralisation of force is not able protected itself.
On the example of Burma we see clearly that the arguments of some people that a democratic country is less powerful then the country with dictatorship is baseless and finds no support in real life. This example reveals the tragic reality, where the government of the country is ready for everything in order to keep the power. These people make their own prosperity more importnat than the life of their own people. They have failed on all fronts. They have failed by the denying of international help, they have failed by providing such assistance as its own help and by not recognizing that they have failed. A government which does not recognise its own mistakes, is weak, a government that see own people dying in these inhuman conditions without to help them, must take the responsibility. People, like this, in my opinion, according to Hague.
I wonder why the UN look away? Why I hear nothing from the UN Security Council? A government militant kills own people and United Nations are looking away. Is the difference that the military of Burma kills own people and not one of the people of neighbouring countries makes the UN free of the responsibility?
I am very disappointed.

Today I read an article in New York Times about U.N. Resolution to approve 26 000 peacekeeper for Darfur (western Sudan) to stop the violence. In Sudan more than 200 000 people were killed during of last 4 years.

As for me, the conflict of Darfur is a good example of disability of U.N. to prevent genocide or other manifestation of violence. It is obvious that renaming of League of Nations to United Nations was only a “cosmetic change”, but this organization is still the same.

I read about those terrorist incidents at least once at week, unfortunately those acts take place very often. If I would live in Baghdad, I would leave this city as soon as possible. I can’t imagine that people can live in that city and don’t want to go away.

Russians started an expedition in the Artic Ocean to put their flag to the sea floor and argue that this territory is a part of Russia. This territory has much oil and gas resources and that’s why Russia is interested to appropriate it. I watched “Vremya” (Russian news) and a television announcer said that in time of UDSSR this territory was a part of country and that’s why it should be a part of Russia again.
But Russia and UDSSR are 2 different countries. UDSSR consisted of a lot of countries. Why Russia of all countries should get this territory? Should they get it, only because this territory is near Russian border? And what is with Koenigsberg (Kaliningrad)? This city has not any border with Russia, but it is a part of it. So, Ukraine or Kazakhstan or maybe Uzbekistan could claim to it? If you tell to Russians about crimes of UDSSR, they answer you that they don’t have anything in common with this country that Russia can’t bequeath past of UDSSR. But if we speak about money, resources or achievements, Russians will say: “Yes, of course that were we!”
