It's not a secret to anyone - neither to politicians, nor to regular people - that America has lost its

friendship with many nations. Some politicians have the naïve belief that the whole world wants to

exist within their idea of freedom. It's amazing that they don't seem to understand that people

living in other countries are truly different. This year a magazine has been launched to create a

bridge between the US and Belarus, a country in Eastern Europe: the US-Belarus Observer.

For 20 years, Belarus has been on a difficult path to political and economic independence, after

more than 70 years of slavery to the Soviet regime. Belarus, more than any other country in the

world, suffered from its fight for nationalism. During World War II, every third person in Belarus

was killed. Now, the country holds an important strategic position; it is a gateway between the

West and the East. The US-Belarus Observer allows readers to explore this remarkable country,

with a variety of topics ranging from politics and business to culture and sports.

Belarus can certainly be one of America's most trusted friends. But America needs to be flexible

and look past the shortcomings that Belarus can be said to have - shortcomings that can be found

in many nations. America needs to show a real desire to make an important, needed, and true

friend. Hand on heart, politics can't get around compromise. This is why America ignores some

situations in "friendly" countries where there is not only a lack of democracy, there is not even a

whiff of it....
