(kāds) Patriks Ārmstrongs saka tā: "[..] The actual problems of the post-communist countries are all similar:
corruption, outdated industry, bad work habits, decaying
infrastructure, crashing demographics and fragile economies. Countries
that had the full 70-year dose of communism are worse off than those
who received the 40-year dose to be sure, but the problems are shared.
NATO is not the answer to any of them.
There is no better illustration of this truth than the parlous state
of Ukraine today. The post “Orange Revolution” obsession with NATO has
only exacerbated the political division in the country.
And finally, why would Russia, which is surviving the financial storm
better than most – if not all – of its neighbors, want to acquire these
countries anyway? Much more trouble (and expense) than they’re worth.
After all, there wasn’t much stopping Russia from seizing most of
Georgia last August if it had wanted to".Avots šeit.

Uzgāju nu 2005. gadā lasītu Arvīda Dravnieka referātu par nepieciešamajām izmaiņām vēlēšanu sistēmā (un ne tikai tur). Interesants, manuprāt.
