Terrorists opened breach in the brains of American resident, intended to destroy their own economy
By Ekaterina Vlasov, Helen Lashkina, Ludmila Romanov

“IDITOL into the stores, expend money.” This desperate call to the nation of the mayor of New York Rudolf Dzhuliani sounded as cry about the aid to American economy.

Now in most satisfactory country reign panic, panic of uncertainty. Is shown the absence of the experience of extreme situations, into which proved to be implicated not the individual citizens, but entire country. The Americans, who, it seemed, were reliably protected by ocean and national idea about strongest country in the world, lost durability and adventurism of their ancestors from “meyflauera.” From the times of civil war 1861-1865 mean statistical American did not see combat operations in his territory -- explosions and shooting were somewhere far, at other end of the world, where Tommi periodically it fought for the bright future entire humanity. With the incidence in the skyscrapers in New York the myth about the super-power collapsed -- reliable fortress proved to be pasteboard. Therefore Americans hardly estimated the call of dzhuliani as direct guide to action.

For terrorists it was possible not only to physically destroy world financial center, but together with it -- and the best intellectual forces of American economy, but also to make much a more terrible and more effective -- to open breach in the brains of overseas resident. Now to American government it is necessary not simple to restore financial system -- for the White House one must enter the economic fight with his own people for the restoration of confidence.

Material damage from teraktov is already calculated -- even the simple addition of numbers already impresses. According to the estimations of analysts, only four-day interruption in the work of New York stock exchange was wrapped up by the billionth losses. This symbol of the concentration of American capital in the past was paralyzed only one time -- during the First World War. However, future much more greatly frightens Americans. According to the information of sources “NG,” the brokers with the horror await the beginning of the work of the fund market: participants in the tradings are unanimous in their intentions -- only to sell. Moreover, according to the same source “NG,” series Americans are ready to follow an example of rossiyan of model 1998, which withstood many day turns into the banks in the hope of removing their money from the calculations in order to place them under the pillow. If such moods assume the form of mass hysteria, as this happened in Russia, then no actions of the administration of Bush and Federal'noy the backup system will save dollar colossus. During the past week American financiers with the active aid of Canadians and European Tsentrobanka already “shook” into the economy of new world of approximately 200 billion dollars. Moreover, to the rescuing of situation were drawn the important firms and the corporations, which trade in the valuable papers, which concluded the unofficial “dzhentl'menskoye” agreement to support prices on the market via the buying up of their actions. However, psychology of resident, who saves everything “gained by difficult labor,” little is subjected to administrative directives and clearing means. If 250 mln. Americans remove from its calculations on the average on 10 thousand dollars, then America will lose its annual VVP - 2,5 trln. dollars.

Now for the U.S. Government one must accomplish the practically impossible task -- of calming panicky moods of our own citizens. In this it actively help numerous of analytical geometry of the entire world, which were included in unique PR-campaign on the restoration of the image of American economy as reliable refuge for foreign investment capital. This task completely feasible -- the international credit of America as before is sufficiently high. But to again convince the Aunt Mary from the average West, which to her money much safer to rest at the bank than in the trunk, by some turnings of the President to nation will no longer come out.

Now to American clerks time itself to read Bulgakov, who even in the past century by Philipp Filippovicha Preobrazhenskiy's words formulated sure guide to action for any authority: to first of all search for ruin in head of resident.

Pavel Teplukhin, the President of the controlling company “Troika- dialogue”:
- SeYchas America takes cardinal measures for the rescuing of financial system, pumping into colossal means into the economy.

- This is the sufficiently standard scenario of the development of so serious a crisis. And it is completely normal, which so occurs. But is much more important that it will occur then. Further prospect completely and all consequences will depend on the fact that will happen of the petroleum prices. They will not completely accurately go downward, but rather -- upward, in spite of any measures OF GUARDIANSHIPS. If oil becomes dearer, then a sharp drop in the prices on the fund markets will occur.

But further everything will depend on that how user in America will react to all this. And this most important. During the war in the Persian Gulf the index of consumer confidence fell practically two times -- from 102 points to 55. To teraktov this index was above, about 114 points, but if it now begins to fall, then in the world economy the periods of stagnation will begin -- if not shock. After the beginning of war in the Persian Gulf were required 6 months, in order to restore the index of consumer confidence. For he would say that now everything depends on the simple American grandmothers, on residents.

- The most important companies concluded agreement about the purchase of our own actions in order to retain fund market from drop. Is it possible to call this measure of unprecedented?

- Perhaps it did not connect directly the resolution of the most important companies to buy our own actions with the fact that it occurred on the past week in THE USA. In principle, this was always permitted with some limitations. this it had to happen in any event and it is connected/bonded with the general state of American economy. this is seemingly logical continuation of those actions, which assumes/takes the American government the latter half a year.

- In the opinion of some analysts, overseas bankers with the horror await the opening our own banks. Judging by those moods, which now reign in the American society, it is possible that the series Americans can simple “exonerate” banks, after taking from the calculations its own means.

- In any country of world there are different people, some more nervously react to the proceeding events. Americans also living people, and each has a right to react in own way.

Joshua Larson, the Vice President of investment company “Morgan Stanley the Dynes of Vitter” on the Russian operations:

Q - When last time was shut New York stock exchange?

Larson - As far as I know, the last closing of New York stock exchange was longest from the time of the First World War.

Q - Which order of sure losses from the four-day closing of stock exchange? According to some estimations, it was from 2 to 8 billion dollars.

Larson - This is completely possible. But I think that if we estimate dynamics in this year, then losses were tolerable.

Q - To you it is known about the fact that the ministry of Finance and the federal backup system OF THE USA did throw in for the maintenance of economy on the order of 208 billion dollars?

Larson - This information exists. Federal backup system together with the Japanese Tsentrobankom and with European financial agencies actively supports the dollar.

Q - It will be sufficient to the national currency OF THE USA of this support?

Larson - I think that soon it is possible to expect some tendency of the decrease, but this more emotional reaction, than the valid economic conclusion. Now dollar as currency is not weaker than week ago; therefore it is not worthwhile to expect a sharp collapse.

Q - Pravda whether, that the American companies did obtain resolution to the purchase of our own actions?

Larson - Yes, commission for the valuable papers OF THE USA permitted to purchase companies our own actions within the specific framework in order to support financial stability.

Q - For conducting of anti-terrorist operations America is concordant to spend 20 billion dollars. this is a sufficient sum?

Larson - This will depend on the political solutions. But, taking into account everything said by President Bush, and also by foreign policy departments, it is possible that the fight will be prolonged many years. It seems me, demands for financial aid will still follow.

Q - American financiers with the fear expected, on the opening of banks, fearing that people will want to close their accounts. How do you relate to these forecasts?

- THE USA is itself stable country. In it, it did not occur financial crisis. The simple Americans do not have foundations for running into the banks and shutting their accounts. It seems to me, the main role in this situation will be to play with “cool heads.”
