Dear Friends, Some reflexions about the conflict in South Ossetia: Western powers have to take note of the fact, that american backed Sakashvilliâ019s military step to oblige South Ossetia to the territorial integration into Georgia has failed.South Ossetia has the right to decide freely between self-determination or integration into an other state.There are not only western interests, there exist also russian interests.Soviet Union has collapsed, but Russia continue representing an important counterbalance vis a vis of the expansion of the NATO towards East and the Caucasus. Instead of the unilateralism of the US defense system represented by the NATO a new european collectif system of defense is needed with the inclusion of Russia and the former soviet republics, in order to grant collectively peace and security in Europe.The projected anti-ballistic missile system in Poland, Czekia and Hungary (radar), the inclusion into the NATO of the baltic states, the project to do the same with Georgia cannot be considered as steps toward the strenghtening of the self-determination of the peoples, but - on the contrary - their use against other peoples.Human rights and democracy in Russia, in China and in other eastern countries cannot be assured by missiles and by denying their national interests, but only by peaceful co-operation and total respect of the sovreignty of those peoples.
