So what are the national interests of the USA? As it follows from the policy statement of neoconservative US administration, the USA is entrusted with a unique role for the creation and expansion of the world order serving security, well-being and high principles - to read ‘American security, American well-being and American high principles’. How about security and national interests of other nations, different from those of the USA? How about their well-being? They seem to be nonexistent for the American elite. In reality, what is hidden behind the prate about American values, USA’s messianic role as the disseminator and propagator of human rights priorities (a-la in America), is Washington’s geopolitical interests.

Yes, human rights are an important social and humanitarian value. Freedom has been a driving force behind mass and individual movements for their social, political and national self-assertion. However, the single-minded speculation on this value to achieve self-seeking goals is inadmissible. Playing this card with geopolitical purposes yields high political and strategic dividends to the USA. But so far no one has noticed that the foundation of this game is rather shaky.

There is a civilization value necessary for the healthy development of societies, which is much more important than human rights. It is morality, both in ordinary day-to-day life, and in politics. Morality is closely connected with moral – the norms of morality, historically developing in the community, fixed in individual and public conscience, and reflected in Scriptures, such as the Ten Commandments in Christianity, in constitution acts and other public documents. Observing the norms of moral entails the ethical conduct, both of individuals, and governments. In general and easy terms, morality may be described as non-detrimental attitude and behavior towards а) oneself, б) fellow creatures, в) community, г) nature.

Morality presupposes observation and respect for the moral norms, such as human dignity, honor, justice, adherence to truth, kindness and humanity, law-abiding, national and religious tolerance. It is incompatible with striving for domination, exploitation and oppression, corruption, criminality, lying to and manipulation of the public, egotism. At the same time, social systems revolving around money, with the ‘dictatorship’ of profit -where human relationships are measured with money and money-grabbing is not bridled by any moral law - may not be the basis for morality. And where there is no morality, there can be no genuine rights and liberties, beneficent for the development of the communities in each country and the world community at large.

If human rights and liberties are specified as the predominant philosophical category without thorough historical, social and ethical analysis of a community; without tying those rights up with obligations and responsibilities of an individual for his society, nation and conscience – the human rights struggle may turn into a vicious and antisocial weapon. Actually, it is beneficial for the world elite, who strives to create the conditions for the dominance in the world, omniscient military control, making profit out of other nations’ resources, etc.

The antisocial power of overstretching the human right issue was well demonstrated by B. Yeltsin’s regime in Russia in the 1990s, when the failure of socialist reformation was followed by the restoration of capitalism in its worst and wildest form. The rights and liberties slogan was widely used by various rogues to ensure for themselves the freedom of robbing the nation, grabbing the public assets and unhampered export of capital and valuables to foreign countries. The government connived at this by granting them impunity for criminal machinations and even murders, so rampant during the criminal war for property redistribution.
