Dear Editor,

Edward Lozansky's report "Moscow’s New Afghanistan" (August 31st) reflects on the claim by a separatist group that it will target reservoirs, pipelines and other strategic infrastructure.

Can such actions be emulated elsewhere in five continents?

The first modern suicide bombings happened in the Middle East. They were amplified by the LTTE whose suicide bombers got to India's Rajiv Gandhi. Sri Lanka's Chandrika Kumaratunga was represented by TIME magazine as the woman with the tightest security in the world but was targeted by the LTTE. She escaped with her life but lost one eye.

To target reservoirs and oil pipelines opens a new, chilling chapter for terrorists. This obviously relates to infrastructure in Europe, the Americas and Asia. We deal with water and energy security.

So Edward Lozansky's bid to chide an official figures today as mere diversion --

"...To suggest, as Ingush President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov has done, that the United States, Britain and Israel gain from the instability in the region is irresponsible, to say the least. Making these kinds of statements does little to improve Russia’s relations with the West."

One might remember Zbigniev Brzezinsky on Afghanistan. He is on the Net with the claim that he advised the use of Islamist fighters. We know that the US sponsored the Taleban -- and now deals with its own creation.

To take a previous chapter of history, World Bank Chief economist Lawrence Summers heavily involved himself in transferring economic destabilisation from Latin America to "Friend and Partner" Russia.

In July 1992 I warned Summers that the bill for destabilisation would extend to Western Europe (my report is on the Net) Lozansky, head of the American University in Moscow, sheds tears so belatedly about "the West."

Instead of being produced in Court like Bernard Madoff, Wall Street-sider Summers has had to be promoted to a place in the White House at President Obama's right hand. We don't know yet how Summers will fight fires of his own creation -- at cost to the taxpayer, to the West and to the world

Turning now from separatists in Russia to those in China, media reports link the Uigor unrest to funding of Islamist provocateurs by the National Endowment of Democracy. So besides Russia, there will come a time for China to take a stand.

I forecast long ago that destabilizing Russia further would see China reach the Danube. A defense alliance that incorporates China and Russia has come into being. China is already using the economic weight of its currency reserves in the post-Soviet space and has loaned Moldova $ 1 billion.

China dips its toes in the Black Sea while Summers and Lozansky - as in "1001 Nights" - have been flying magic carpets above the ground realities that we see.

Best wishes,
