The XXI century will be a сentury either of total all-embracing crisis or of moral and spiritual healing that will reinvigorate humankind. It is my conviction that all of us - all reasonable political leaders, all spiritual and ideological movements, all  faiths - must help in this transition to a triumph of humanism and justice, in making the XXI century a century of a new human renaissance.

Gorbachev: U.S. war on terror antagonizes allies

    PRIMOSTEN, Croatia -- Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is accusing the U-S of unilateralism in international affairs and antagonizing allies in its approach to fighting terrorism.
     Gorbachev says today it is unacceptable and unsustainable that the United States resolves problems in the name of the whole world.
     He's referring to the American-led engagement in Iraq, Afghanistan and efforts to halt Iran's nuclear development program.
     He says bombing will never lead to a solution.
     He says an international partnership is the best and only solution.
     Gorbachev's reform policies helped bring down the Soviet empire, end the Cold War and inspire democracy in former communist countries across the world.
     He spoke at a conference belatedly celebrating his 75th birthday and 20 years of his popular policy of perestroika, or restructuring.
