 <title>Michael. on &quot;1989: moment, legacy, future &quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/bulgaria/1989-moment-legacy-future#comment-517307</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;How sad it is reading sophist rhetoric of the events of 1989.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The truth is, all that happened was a rotten-to-the-core totalitarian system inevitably failed in the manner forecast by many in the decade after the Bolshevik Revolution - prime amongst them, Leon Trotsky.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that system is gone the eternal dispute is still there. No amount of Western capitalist propaganda can change it. Capitalism is also a rotten-to-the-core system that will inevitably fail. How many more depressions and slumps are required before the zeitgeist reaches a mature understanding of this reality?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only question is whether the minority perpetrators of capitalism will stand aside peacefully as history catches up with them too.&lt;/p&gt;

I am from Poland and I was a witness of these all events. However I was only a child in 80&amp;#39;sbut I remember how I was been wondering of tanks on streets.

 <title>trvnwright8563 on &quot;Turkey and history: shoot the messenger&quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/turkey_and_history_shoot_the_messenger#comment-517208</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Dany I agree with you. You know every few dacades (in the good case) another form of fashism and racisim evolves. The world is blind to them and then after a few years of brutal acts we all wake up. What&amp;#39;s wrong with us? Why can&amp;#39;t we prevent this from happening?
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Sivakumar Chelliah on &quot;Uses of genocide: Kenya, Georgia, Israel, Sri Lanka&quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/the-uses-of-genocide-kenya-georgia-israel-sri-lanka#comment-517062</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The UN and EVERY rights group has repeatedly told us that in Sri Lanka the Tamil Tigers held 300,000 people as a human shield, and even shot at them whilst they fled. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Neutral news media reported that Sri Lanka paused it&#039;s offensive numerous times to allow civilians to flee. There is even video of Sri Lankan soldiers on loud speakers ushering people out of the conflict zone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So unlike the people of Gaza, Sri Lanka did not attack an entire population to get at the combatants. In Sri Lanka it was the combatants that held people as a human shield. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clearly not genocide and not comparable under any circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My gripe with people flaunting the word is that it shows lack of respect to the word and reduces it&#039;s value. Millions perished in genocides. We must reserve the word cautiously or it will turn into &quot;just another word.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you think no one is acting on the accusations of genocide now, that&#039;s the main reason. It&#039;s impossible to prove allegations if everyone is flaunting the word.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We must all call out and expose those who falsely claim genocide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following is an interesting read:&lt;br /&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Some time ago I was hoping and believing that there will be no more genocides in the world, like in the armenian genocide in 1915, but it is a reality that world has not matured or learned from it as genocides are still happening, it is so unbelievable that these accure again and again, why are world leaders still not stopping the mass murders efficiently, learn from the past already!
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Not logged in on &quot;Preah Vihear: the Thai-Cambodia temple dispute&quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/preah-vihear-the-thai-cambodia-temple-dispute#comment-516912</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The disputed area adjacent to Preah Vihear was well within the Cambodian territory in accordance to France and Siam treaty in 1907.&lt;br /&gt;
If Thailand really understands the nature of treaty and respects it like in any other western countries (such as its big brother, the United States), once you sign a contract (or treaty) you honor and adhere to it until both parties mutually decide to do away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
In the last decade in the United States, many people lose their houses and life long savings because they were involved in an investment they did not fully understand. Because of the contract they signed, they had no choice but bite the bullet and still go on with their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The treaty in 1907 between France and Siam was by no means a treaty by force the way Thailand would like to portrait it. The disputed area adjacent to Preah Vihear is only 4.6 square kilometers and it is part of Cambodia per the treaty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To suggest the area to become a free zone is utterly wrong without any merits. Since Thailand always stress on peaceful means to resolve the dispute, it should honor the treaty and stop bickering on it . Given the fact that the vast majority of Thailand was part of the Khmer Empire until a few centuries ago, recognizing the 4.6 km2 as rightfully part of Cambodia is a very good deal to Thailand. It will not only promote peace but also prosperity and harmony between the two peoples.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Tim Werner on &quot;What was communism? &quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/what-was-communism#comment-516885</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Nick Copper:&lt;br /&gt;
It is my belief that capitalism and communism are both subcategories of a coup by humans over the natural systems of the planet, characterized by overpopulation, looting resources and claiming domination over land. It has always been doomed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it that your seriously ???&lt;br /&gt;
in my oppinion are capitalism and communism very different. You cant divide they in subcategories of a coup by humans over the natural systems of the planet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what have  the natural system to do with capitalism and communism? huh? its the myth of revolution?!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Alban on &quot;United Nations authority: after Kosovo &quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/article/kosovo/united-nations-authority-after-kosovo#comment-516879</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Good. I&#039;m glad Kosovo is going to force United Nation to reform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First thing to do&lt;br /&gt;
1. Abolish the veto system. Where few countries make decisions about the world. Remove Russia from UNSC. There are other more important global players today.&lt;/p&gt;
