From: Ông-thu N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The lessons from Georgia. To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, August 24, 2008, 6:59 PM THE Munich analogy has been blamed for a lot of unnecessary and futile conflict since World War II, but the principle of standing up to a bully to avoid a worse situation in the future is still a good one. Russia has agreed to a ceasefire in Georgia, after handing out a drubbing to its much smaller neighbour. But the ceasefire has not stopped it attacking the battered Georgian army after the truce deadline, and demanding terms that amount to annexation. Instead of the light peacekeeping force Russia previously kept in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, it now has a full-scale occupation force in these territories and seeks a wide buffer zone around them from which Georgian forces will be excluded. It also demands a guarantee that Georgia will never seek to regain the two regions by force. In effect, some 18 per cent of Georgia would be permanently under Russian control. While the propaganda has been geared up about the plight of ethnic Russians who fled South Ossetia before the ill-fated Georgian offensive, nothing is admitted about the Georgians forced out of Abkhazia.. The West now confronts a dilemma. It can seek to resume aid to Georgia - and help rebuild its small armed forces - while inducting Georgia into Western institutions, including NATO. Or it can back off and shelve such schemes, sending a disturbing message to other former republics of the Soviet Union like the Ukraine or the Baltic states. The ceasefire should be encouraged, but the Russian terms should be rejected and the case for a third-party peacekeeping force strenuously made. This brief but bloody conflict is a wake-up call to the West about Russia under Vladimir Putin. It ends an era of assumed Russian introversion, requiring us to think harder about economic and strategic engagement with Moscow. Where the West enters new relationships, it must be ready to back its commitments, while leaning on its new friends not to take risks like the Georgian move into South Ossetia. The West should not try to isolate or "contain" Moscow again. That would be counterproductive and probably impossible anyway. Russia may not stay Putin's course of regaining sway over its old empire. It faces a demographic implosion, and is struggling to populate its far eastern territories where Chinese and Koreans are flooding in, and where it has just ceded territory to China. For all its oil wealth, Russia is increasingly an economic slave of China and India. Meanwhile, we should face down the bully. >From reverse into forward THE image of the old-age pensioner dining on a tin of cold cat food while living in a million-dollar house may be extreme, but it makes a serious point. Many older Australians barely scrape through life even though they have a substantial asset: the family home. They need to release the wealth sealed in their bricks and mortar. Understandably, however, they will not do anything they feel might threaten their security. The paradox of the asset-rich retiree struggling on an age pension has been underlined in a new study by Bruce Bradbury of the social policy research centre at the University of NSW. As the Herald has reported, Dr Bradbury says older Australians are more likely to be home owners than their counterparts in other developed countries, yet their retirement income is lower. He says they should be encouraged to trade down to smaller houses by stamp duty concessions and other measures. However, many older Australians do not want to surrender their homes, preferring to stay with the people they know, in the place they know. The net result is that their living standard declines as they get older - then their children inherit the house. Dr Bradbury says they should be helped by making reverse mortgages more attractive, though he does not say how. The proposal has logic on its side, but would be resisted by many, if not most, potential borrowers. There is also another problem at this time of rising interest rates, falling property values and tightening credit: the number of institutions offering reverse mortgages is falling, as the Herald Money section has reported this week. Steadily increasing superannuation savings will eventually give a big boost to retirement incomes. But that day is still some way off, even if the Federal Government decides to lift the level of compulsory superannuation contributions. In the meantime, older Australians are rightly wary of signing away an asset they have worked all their adult lives to acquire. The potential pitfalls of reverse mortgages are many, as the website of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission makes clear. Nonetheless, 337,000 Australians now have them. The Federal Government could profitably review their experience, with an eye to developing a new regulatory framework for reverse-mortgage borrowing. It should be possible for retirees to generate a modest income supplement from at least a small part of their home equity without jeopardising either their security or their pension. Should Cambodia ally herself to a superpower neighbour or to a far-away OBAMA-BIDEN?
