When someone speaks about pirates, you usually think first about buccaneer from that era as England and Spain led wars around the Caribbean. The music industry was able to manipulate public so that this term also known as a term for children and young people, who downloads music from the Internet without pay for it.
The real pirates are not interested in music from the Internet, but they have ultra-modern boats, equipped with modern weapons. They take large ships that pass Somalia in sight, steal and take from it crew as hostages in order to get later the ransom for these people from their governments.
Until now, there are no really significant effort by any state, to stop this activity. This is very surprising, especially if you see how the military superpowers or wannabe major powers aka Russia, shows their weapons and ships to highlight their political importance.
How these states explain their inaction? The United States have not any possibility to solve this problem because of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition to the newly created Georgia-Russia conflict, and of course Iran. And what about Russia? Russia said recently that they will solve this problem alone. But until now there were only empty promises. And Germany? Well, Germany because of the law situation is not entitled to participate in such confrontations.
In short, everyone is busy with itself and therefore they are ready, to pay money for hostages, because it is a easy solution.

Today I read an article in the sun about the current development of the Iran crisis. Actually there is nothing new. The world community calls on Iran to stop enrichment of uranium, Iran signaled willingness to negotiate. The negotiations have as always, no result and the game starts from the beginning. Somehow strange that both sides repeat this ritual several times. In my opinion, it is obviously that Iran attempts to win time, while EU and other countries trying to negotiate with the mullah regime and solve the conflict with “European diplomacy”. I am of the opinion that it would be useful, to build for Iran for free a few nuclear power plants, which are working on the heavy water. These nuclear power plants work very efficiently and are completely inappropriate for building an atomic bomb. As far as I know, the U.S. built such power plants for North Korea. The North Korean government has declared to be ready to stop further nuclear weapons research.
If the government of Iran does not really want to build nuclear weapons, it will accept such an offer. Otherwise, I see no arguments against the very tough sanctions. The conflict can’t be resolved with weapons. The example of Iraq show us well how bad this idea are. Therefore, there is just one solution: a complete economic and political isolation. I am afraid, however, that isolation of Iran is simply impossible, because Iran is an interest zone of Russia and China. China needs a lot of raw materials and therefore very easy to win for Iran as ally or protector, because Iran has oil and gas. Russia is interested in sale a weapons to Iran. In addition, Russia has a dream of an organization on the example of OPEC for a coordinated sale of gas and Iran is a part of russian plans. Vicious circle?

In Berlin was recently a conference of editors of the Fundamental Rights Reports. The aim of this report is the protection and support of constitutional rights of German citizens.
The participants had published a resolution, where they calling to stop the state surveillance measures and to protect the rights of German citizens.
The motto of the congress was “security state at the end. Congress for the future of civil rights. “There were a whole new different people and civil rights organizations who had meeting on 23 and May 24. Humboldt University in Berlin served as the venue.
These organizations call on the politicians to protect the fundamental rights and freedom of citizens. They expressed strong criticism because of the new laws necessary for the monitoring of the human which give a free hands to security authorities.
“Every man, must have a monitoring free zone.” According to the congress, the liberties must not be sacrificed to prevent the dangers.
Another criticism was the use of the army in own country and criminalization of the demonstrators. “There is no place for the army missions within the country in a constitutional democracy.”

What I am concerned about, I have some comprehension for all these security measures, which we have today, except perhaps the use of German army against demonstrators during the G8 summit. However, I am very worried because of the development of the situation. They want with these measures, to protect the security of the citizens, but it also creates a large scope to abuse.
What we need in any case, is an independent organization with broad power to take all these control measures controlled and protect the people effectively against abuse.

Democrats are the main opponents of U.S. president Gorge W. Bush and the main critics of his military actions. A long time they criticized the war in Iraq and other military actions of liberal camp. They said they would never begin this war and they would end it if they would have enough political power.
But the newest statements of presidential candidates from democratic camp seem to be changed.
Senator Barack Obama says that he would leave the American forces in Iraq to protect Iraq against terrorism, train Iraqis and destroy terrorists in Pakistan with A-bombs if needed, senator Hillary Clinton would leave forces to protect the north of Iraq, and so on.
But why the main critics of Bush changed their political direction?
The answer is, they studied the opinions of American citizens and the most U.S. citizens seem to support a war against terrorism.

Is it right to adjust own interests, ideals and opinions on interests, ideals and opinions of your electors or should they be allegiant for that for what they contended?
If some politics can make so radical changes in their political aims, could we say, those politics have an own opinion?
I think if someone don’t have an own opinion, he can’t argue and take the responsibility for it.

As the commander of Russia’s long-range aviation forces said, Russia resumed the long range flight exercises. Russian pilots made flights to Guam Island. The flight on war plains T-95 of class “Bear” took 13 hours.
Army of Soviet Union and than Russia’s army uses these plains since 1955. Russian army spokesman said that those flights are an established practice. A long time those flights were not possible because of economic problems in Russian army.

It seems that Russia has enough money to finance those politic games now and Russians want to say the other world that they are powerful again.

As for me, I wish that scientists would find new, effective and rechargeable energy resources and the global war for resources like oil or gas would be useless. Countries, which can control other world, just because they have much of mineral resources will search for other methods to finance themselves and they will not have much time to think about those global things like world power and so on.

The son of Mummar el-Qaddafi, Saif al-Islam, told that 6 medical workers were really tortured by electricity and intimidated. The medics were charged that they infected children with H.I.V.

I don’t understand how president of France could offer this country such “gifts” as atomic reactor and money indemnity.
People, who try to hide own mistakes and arrogate them to other people don’t have to receive a reward for those doing.

The landmark of London will stay during the next month silent, because of the maintenance workings. It will be the first time since 1956 that both sonorous hourly bongs and the chimes that mark each quarter-hour will be silent.
During the workings the clock will work with help of backup electric system.

As for me, if they use that backup electric system, they could record the sound of Big Ben and play it at the right moment
