 <title>G8 off topic, </title>
 <link>http://www.opendemocracy.net/g8_off_topic_0</link>
 <description>Hello,
 It just goes to show how off topic the G8/Live8 really was.  Instead of talking and discussing about ways to defeat terrorism Live 8 sidelined the issue.  Forget the absolute horrible television coverage of the Live 8 concerts...  the London bombings just highlight how detoured G8 really was - we can thank Bob Geldof and Co. for that.  It&#039;s a sham that with all these leaders gathered in one place that the terrorism topic was not main subject of the event.  Especially when some of these leaders don&#039;t see eye to eye.  Something productive could of been achieved.  Thanks Bob. The issue at hand is: Terrorism and how to stop it.
