Our world is on the brink of another world war. It will originate August 22nd in the Middle East. The prediction was presented not by Vagna or Nostradamus but by an American political scientist Bernard Lewis in the acclaimed publication of Wall Street Journal. He is a man with close ties to the Bush administration as well as to the non-conservatives pushing for the radical solution of the “Iranian Threat.”

Once again, the international community stands polaxed while innocent civilians are murdered on both sides of the frontier, amid callous comments which demonstrate a total disrespect for the human condition, a total disregard for human life.

A large-scale war typical to those in 1967 or 1973 is not likely to follow. Sunni Arab countries will not participate in the war guided by Iran or Hezbollah. Israel will not repeat the events of 1982 when it occupied a half of Lebanon and Beirut. The people of Israel are ready to suffer now. However, the majority of them do not realize that Hezbollah is a hard nut to crack

The main news for Russian spectators of the summit was the crisis in the relation between two friends: Vladimir Putin was clearly unable to hide his disappointment in his “friend”, George W. Bush, although he insisted that warm relations were being maintained. The USA showed a genuine sense of humor, having played a dirty trick on Russia

When Israel responded to the kidnapping of its soldiers, many countries said that Israel was overreacting too much. Israel’s incumbent leaders cannot be described as charismatic and sophisticated politicians. The head of Avoda leftist party, Amir Peres, as the Defense Minister is ridiculous. Incumbent Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has always been Ariel Sharon’s watchdog

In 2004 7 more countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia joined NATO. NATO was now at the borders of the Russian Federation. As the new members were being welcomed into NATO, other countries were being “encouraged” to apply. This encouragement usually takes the form of encouraging civil unrest and if possible revolution in the target country, with the aim of installing a pro-American leadership

There is only one country in the world that has money and wish to launch missiles from space – the USA. It is an open secret that the USA will find ways to ignore all international agreements once the US administration has a goal that needs to be achieved. Many experts say that the George W. Bush’s administration prepares to launch defense programs in space.
