You are absolutely right in drawing attention to the exploitation of natural resources by developed countries for their present economic growth, even at the cost of leaving nothing for coming generations. Industrialized and developed rich countries in the West have only one slogan: “I want it all, and I want it now....

From the announcement ceremony last week in the Rose Garden, Shalikashvili sped back to Brussels, to his current headquarters as SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe) to prepare his forces to launch airstrikes against the Serbian forces besieging Sarajevo.

It seemed like a rags-to-riches success tale, Polish style. But last week, after a scandal surrounding the firm toppled the nation’s highest banking official, it looked more like an object lesson in the dangers lurking on the road from communism to capitalism.
