A CRISE É DOS BANCOS, MAS A SOCIEDADE E OS ESTADOS PAGAM A CONTA DO PATO QUE NÃO COMPRARAM E TAMBEM NAO COMERAM.

A crise é realmente um elo da mesma corrente e lamentavelmente endossada pelos Bancos Centrais e pelas agencia de classificação de riscos e por todos aqueles que ganharam dinheiro desonestamente.

É totalmente injustificável, com tecnologia de ponta para as comunicações online, o mundo continuar sendo tranquilamente controlado pela nociva auto regulamentação dos cartéis.

Talvez na próxima reunião do BIS e do G-20, em São Paulo, em outubro e novembro, surja uma solução definitiva para o controle de ágios, monitoramento correto de comodities e iniciativas que de fato defendam os interesses da sociedade mundial. Parece que os chines já dispoem de um plano e outros países também.

Essa propalada crise não é de ESTADO, mas uma crise localizada no sistema financeiro cartelizado, que fabricou centenas de bilionários em curtissímo prazo e desonestamente. E hoje esses especuladores estão usando o ESTADO PARA GARANTIR A PRIVATIZAÇÃO DE SEUS LUCROS E A SOCIALIZAÇÃO DE PREJUIZOS. E O ESTADO , PARA GARANTIR A CONTINUIDADE DESSES CARTÉIS, MAIS UMA VEZ IRÁ PENALIZAR O POVO INDEFESO QUE NÃO RECEBEU, MAS VAI PERDER BENEFÍCIOS PARA A CONCENTRAÇÃO DE RIQUEZAS.

Interesting you mention George Washington and Jefferson's advice about trade with all and staying away from problems. That is what China doing, and quite successfully, while Big Ol' U.S. of A. is stuck in mud in Iraq, Afghanistan and Wall Street!

Thanks for your insight.

All true. Time for reassessment of reality.

Must agree with DRAGUTIN DIMITRIJEVIC above. And let's remember New Orleans and Katrina.

For now, American politics is focused on persons and personalities, not programs. At the same time, it is diverted to 1960s issues of race and women as equals instead of domestic, financial or foreign policy....just like the days when the Democrats and Republicans were intensely focusing on gays and flags in schools when they had bigger issues such as budget deficits, education, etc. to worry about.

Salam Mr Ettefagh,

The fundamental flaw in American policy is the fact that the United States government is incapable of securing the necessities of life for its citizens domestically. The necessities of life are:

1.) Food
2.) Fresh water
3.) Energy
4.) Transportation fuel
5.) Transportation vehicles or systems
6.) Communications systems
7.) Building materials
8.) Textiles

The failure to ensure a sufficient domestic supply of these items is a result of poor (virtually non-existent) long term planning and a misguided faith that the self-interested "private sector" could be trusted to concern itself with the health and destiny of the United States as a nation.

Since the "private sector" has very little interest in long-term planning or preserving the United States as a nation it does not bother much with either.

Therefore the United States government, as all failed governments do, creates a Big Enemy to distract its citizens from realising that the government is corrupt and ineffective at the job it's supposed to be doing. The "private sector" has no motivation to do that job either. The private sector treats nations as economic zones rather than sovereign, historical entities therefore the name attached to this landmass or that is of little importance to the businessman.

For many years America's Big Enemy was proclaimed to be the Soviet Union. Then, when the Soviet government collapsed Iran became the substitute. Now that Russia has regained military power and wealth we are told we have TWO Big Enemies today, Russia and Iran.

The U.S. government creates monsters that we're all supposed to fear. That way we don't question why we're being squeezed for tax (tribute) money while the average citizen receives very little in return. If the United States were self-sufficient in the items above the price of foreign oil or most other commodities wouldn't matter. Iran is half-way round the world and the manner in which Iran conducts its affairs wouldn't concern us. We would have little need for anything more than commercial trade relations for non-critical materials and friendly or satisfactory diplomatic relations with the Persian and Arab states. Perhaps most importantly, Israel would be forced to learn how to play well with others since official U.S. government interests in the region would be minor and there would not be a large American presence in that part of the world.

In summation, it doesn't much matter who is president as long as the ideology of Globalisation (interdependence) is pursued by American politicians. Globalisation creates, rather than suppresses strife and conflict.
