Dear
Friends:
The last
seven days were very hard in the news: the border crisis, Gaza conflict, the recovery of the
black boxes and corpses from the Malaysian Airlines flight, a new airplane
crash in Algeria and more.
The
bloggers expressed diverse opinions about the unaccompanied Central American
minors illegally entering the United States and the border crisis. Some
Americans recognize that it is not possible to open the doors to all the
children who come as illegal immigrants. Others complain against the
deportation of the children.
The Gaza conflict started with a balanced
position about the destruction of the tunnels from where Hamas is bombing Israel. After that, a lot of bloggers
criticized the Israelis for the violent retaliation with a lot of deaths for
the Palestinian side and the demolishment of houses including hospitals and
schools.
The
crash of the Malaysian Airlines gave a new motif for a strong criticism against
President Putin. The United States and the Europeans say the
pro-Russian rebels of Eastern Ukraine shot the Malaysian airplane with a rocket from Russia.
Also in
the last few days, the Wall Street Journal, The Economist and other business
publications returned their eyes to the international Argentine debt and the
politics of this country. On July 30th, Argentina will default for the second time in 12 years
according to different sources.
Now I would like to
share with you a series of comments posted by myself in the WSJ Journal
Community and other media during the last few days about important headlines.

In Argentina, Mix of Money and Politics Stirs Intrigue
Around Kirchner – PART 1
Allegations
Against Construction Baron Lázaro Báez Focus Attention on Wealth of President
and Her Late Husband – By Santiago Pérez and Taos Turner
My Comment: I think that the Kirchners (Néstor
and Cristina) Boudou and all the gangs of politicians who ruled Argentina
during the last two decades are more than corrupt. They are destroying a
country that was built with a lot of efforts for other Argentines who are dying
poor and probably in other parts of the world.
Argentina was a great country with great working people but the Montoneros (terrorists), ERP (terrorists), the unions and a series of gangsters with the title of “POLITICIANS” have ruined completely the foundation of the country.

For this reason, if Cristina Kirchner has a little of decency, she has to put her personal fortune and the economic assets of all the other politicians and the bosses of the unions to pay the debts that Argentina has since more than 10 years. 4 Recommendations 07/29/2014 02:37:08 AM

The Former
Education Secretary Predicts Schools Will Evolve Into a Student-Driven System
With No Grade Levels - By
Margaret Spellings
My Comment: We agree that technology can change
the environment of the classroom to achieve better learning results.
However, if technology empties the classrooms, it will kill the human communication between educator and students. And this is bad. 07/28/2014 03:33:44 PM

Obama Says U.S. Could Start Limited Refugee Program in Central America
President Speaks
Following Meeting With Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador Leaders - By Laura Meckler, Kristina Peterson and Carol E. Lee
My Comment: We have to agree that the “border
crisis” is a serious human problem and we can understand that President Barack
Obama wants to find a path to surpass the crisis.
However, the visas for the unaccompanied Central American minors illegally entering the United States are not a real solution. They are only palliative.
On the other hand, U.S. is not ‘The Promised Land” and each child who arrives alone is “package of problems” that are very difficult to solve with standard methods.
Personally, I really don’t believe that these children walk alone 1000 kilometers crossing all Mexico to arrive to the Rio Grande.
My questions:

Personally, I really don’t believe that these children walk alone 1000 kilometers crossing all Mexico to arrive to the Rio Grande.
My questions:
1) Who transport the children to the Mexican-US border? What kind of business there is behind these children?
2) What the parents of these children expect after they receive a US visa? Probably, some of them dream the children will ask visas for the parents. Maybe, others want to receive money if their children work illegal across the country…
Today the United States doesn’t have decent jobs for all the citizens and legal immigrants. The massive entrance of illegal immigrants including youngsters and children will complicate more the economic conditions of the country. 2 Recommendations 07/27/2014 01:44:58 PM

State Department

My Comment: In Libya,

not prepared to grow through a democratic system and to live in peace and

Jihadists in Iraq Erase Cultural Heritage - By Nour Malas – PART 1
My Comment: The Sunni insurgents are acting as
barbarians. They are destroying historic buildings and persecuting Christians
and other Muslims. But they will not exterminate the roots of the civilization
and the culture of Iraq
and Syria.
Everybody who wants to change History, in the end, it is
buried under the debris of their vandalism. 07/26/2014 02:51:42 PM
Jihadists in Iraq Erase Cultural Heritage - By Nour Malas
My Comment answering to another member of the Journal
Community: History shows that the most cruel kings and tyrants of the Mesopotamia
where now is Iraq
didn't have an eternal reign. Of course, the vandalism will continue for a
period.
From the historical times of Babylon
and the Assyrians, the lands of the Mesopotamia always
were battlefield of cruel warriors and fearsome armies.
The militants who want to build a new Islamic State are more
vulnerable than all the previous tyrants. 07/27/2014 12:57:39 PM

Deportations Give

Fewer Minors Are
Apprehended at Border; Obama to Meet With Central American Leaders - By Laurence Iliff and Laura Meckler
My Comment: The poverty and the bad social
conditions of the Central American countries are the consequences of decades of
corruption and politicians who don’t care for their people.
If the United States
opens the doors to all the immigrants of these countries, it will not fix the
structural problems of the region. The situation will be worse than now from
both sides.
Definitely, the deportation of illegal immigrants is a
painful tool but it will force the Central American governments to assume their
responsibilities. 10 Recommendations 07/24/2014
