Przetargi o warunki pokoju w Afganistanie

Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski

AfganistanPokojowa propozycja Arabii Saudyjskiej w celu zakończenia wojny w Afganistanie zawiera członkostwo Talibanów w rządzie w Kabulu. Waszyngton stara się nie dopuścić Rosji do udziału w układzie pokojowym mimo tego, że Moskwa ubiega się taki udział. Indie chciałyby skorzystać z nowych dostaw paliwa na wypadek konstrukcji przez USA rurociągu przez teren Afganistanu. Iran oponuje przeciwko budowie takiego rurociągu. Najmniej do powiedzenia w tej sprawie wydają się mieć w tej chwili mieszkańcy Afganistanu.

Robert Gates, minister obrony USA, powiedział, że ostateczne rozwiązanie konfliktu w Afganistanie musi polegać na zgodzie z Talibanami. Już w październiku wódz Talibanów, Mullah Omar proponował odseparowanie Talibanów od Al-Qaidy oraz wyprosić Osama bin Laden’a z Afganistanu, w zamian za uznanie rządu Omar’a w Kabule przez USA. Oferta ta była wówczas zignorowana przez Waszyngton i USA dokonało ataku w ramach „wojny przeciwko terrorowi.”

Cel Postępowego Upaństwawiania Banków w USA?

Dollar Sign over black background Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski

Pojawiają się w prasie amerykańskiej takie tytuły jak „Częściowe Upaństwawianie Banków w USA?” Chodzi o odbudowę zaufania do systemu finansowego, zwichniętego przez lichwiarski kapitalizm, za pomocą częściowego upaństwawiania systemu banków w USA, w formie przejmowania przez państwo tytułu własności ważnych banków.

Minister skarbu Henry Paulson powiedział 9go października, 2008, że ma upoważnienia używania, ostatnio zatwierdzonego funduszu 700 miliardów dolarów, na ratowanie gospodarki USA, za pomocą inwestowania w kluczowych bankach. Podobnie dzieje się w W. Brytanii gdzie rząd inwestuje 87 miliardów dolarów w takich bankach, jak Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC oraz Barclays. Rząd Irlandii już przejął kontrolę nad bankami irlandzkimi.
