I saw much suffering in countries like Bosnia, Somalia and Haiti. I never went into an area with the attitude «what a great photo opportunity.» My goal was simply to report what I observed.
I was also witness to great acts of courage...those who fought to bring democracy to Russia, those who rescued people from starvation in Somalia and those who used peaceful means to end war.
1. Do you have friends in Russia? If yes, then who are they?
2. How do you feel about the various social networks in the Internet? Are there too many times people, especially children, began to spend on the Internet?
You ask many hard questions. I not only covered the war in Bosnia. I also reported from Serbia and Croatia. I also covered Bosnia Serbs. I did not put my own opinion in my reports. I gave people in those countries the opportunity to tell others their stories.
I did not cover the trials in the Hague, but I do know most, not all, of the atrocities were committed in Bosnia. I know what it was like in Sarajevo. I saw the sniper fire and the bombings.
I like journalism because I like telling the stories of people. Good journalism is good journalism everywhere. It can be local or it can be international. I don't like those who become journalists for the wrong reasons...fame or money.
The USA and Russia are two large and highly developed nations. The rivalry after the Second World War hurt both countries. There are more similarites between Russia and the United States than many realize. I believe relations will grow stronger.
I had to do many reports I did not like… covering the war in Bosnia and worrying about my son's future if something had happened to me was a big concern. I never went against my own conscience. Journalism is a profession of truth. It's ok to make mistakes (as I have from time to time)and to correct them. It's never ok to be untruthful.
Americans really don't know much about the conflict in Georgia. I can't pretend to understand the complexities of this conflict. When I look at it from a distance, I do ask myself...why Russia, such a large nation, cannot workout an agreement with Georgia, a very small country.
Americans DO eat a lot of fast food...cheap and convenient, but very often unhealthy. Doctors prescribe controlled medications, but there are many OTC (over-the-counter) medications without the need for a prescription.
Most Americans know Russia is a huge country and many think it's cold most of the time. You are great in hockey, science, ballet and chess. We beat the pants off of you in baseball and video games. LOL
1. I don't like it when any government tries to withhold or control information… If it has to do with genuine national security, like protecting citizens from harm, than it's necessary for the government to keep some secrets. I think most of the WikiLeaks were more an embarrassment than a threat to national security.
2. I think Osama bin Laden is dead. Think of the logic of it...Most of the time the US military prefers to bomb a target until it looks like the face of the Moon. The military, ordered by President Obama, sent special forces to capture or kill him. They wanted to be sure.
У подъезда обычно никто внимания не обращает, потому как сразу заходят/выходят. А вот на остановке хоть минуту но ждешь обычно, и так или иначе читаешь объявления.
