Conflit Israélo-libanais

Apres plusieurs semaines, le conflit entre Israël et le Liban, déjà dévastateur pour l’économie mondiale, semble en vu de s’aggraver. Les tensions internationales au Moyen-Orient sont de pire en pire. La Syrie a annonce ce 23 Juillet 2006 entrer dans le conflit si Israël menait une invasion en territoire libanais. L’Iran a déclaré hier que Téhéran soutiendrait la Syrie de manière solidaire au cas ou celle-ci entrerait en guerre contre Israël que beaucoup disent soutenue dans l’ombre par les Etats-Unis.

L’escalade de violence dans cette région pétrolière du gobe fera-t-elle une réalité du baril a 100 usd en voyant éclater une guerre internationale.
Actuellement le prix du pétrole, après un net recul, reste relativement stable ; les courtiers doutant d’un dérapage de la situation pour le moment.

Pétrole : Stabiliseras-tu, stabiliseras pas ?

Selon un communique de la Réserve Fédérale Américaine, les prix du pétrole vont se stabiliser autour de leur niveau actuel. Au même moment la Chine annonce une augmentation de 8.7% de sa consommation de brut au premier semestre 2006 qui aura bien entendu des répercutions sur la demande mondial.

Alors que le brut après un net recul cette semaine semble désormais se stabiliser, la marche reste neanmois preoccupe par la situation au proche-orient.
Selon la Réserve Fédérale Américaine, malgré les incertitudes nombreuse concernant les prix du pétrole la meilleure solution est de regarder les contrats a termes qui laissent penser a une stabilisation des prix.
Apparemment selon les marches a termes, le brut semblerait probable de se stabiliser entre 75 et 80 usd au cours des deux années a venir.

Cependant, les spécialistes affirment difficile d’élaborer une théorie en faveur d’une baisse des prix tant que la situation au Moyen-Orient ne s’améliore pas.
Concernant le dossier Iranien, un conflit ouvert entre les forces de l’ONU et le quatrième producteur mondial de pétrole aurait des répercutions catastrophiques sur le prix du baril qui pourrait facilement pulvériser le dernier records en date de 78.7 usd ce Jeudi 13 Juillet 2006.

One thing is known for sure, Chavez is making Venezuela as big as countries like Brazil and Argentina in this world Area. Will Venezuela be an important partner for Cuba to become a member of the Free Trade Union?.......YES

North Korea wants to deal with fire!!

One day after the international protests against North Korean's shootings tests (firings) toward the sea of Japan Pyongyang authority the 6th of July being ready to take "all the possible retaliatory measures" if United Nations impose penalties against North Korea.

For North Korea, the shootings are officlaly nothing more than military exercices. However, one of those shootings was a missile capable to reach American interests. The North Korean military tests could be to put pressure on Washington. Th Asian country respond on the United Nation protests (after meeting) was that the country will be in the obligation to answer by even stronger physical actions if whoever presses North Korea on the military tests.

The result of the crisis was another record for the petroleum barrel price which reached 75,40 usd Wednesday when the geopolitical tension had started. Will we see a remake of the 1962 Cuban Crisis? We can't tell for sure but one thing is sure: "This is not to help the world situation; so many conflicts are appearing in the fourth corners in the world".

World Cup 2006 Final : France - Italy

Italy won the 2006 world cup....beating France on penalties after played two hours. The first half was marked by the italian performance whereas the second half showed an exceptional french team ready to win the 2006 World Cup and bring back the golden trophee to France for the second time. But that is How the World cup is; no matter who is the best penalties is just about luck.

France lost the game after the Captain Zinedine Zidane, "Zizou" headbutted the middle-field Materazzi and got a red card. Everyone of us who knows Zizou will say that if he did headball the italian player, he had a good reason to do it. However, he should not have done this.

In France Zizou is a legend and will always be concidered as a legend, being one of the most respectful and peaceful players in the football story. Zidane and "Les Bleus 98 et 2006" made France dream, and for that they will always be a part of us. Some of them now done with profesionnal football, some of them will be here for 2010. For sure, in France, our National Heroe will always have his place is our heart...just forever and a little while more.

BYE ZIZOU........"You'll always be the best for us"....."Menaces, mais libre.."
Thank you Zidane; et merci les bleus.
