Quote of the day

The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape

G8 off topic

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'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't see eye to eye. Something productive could of been achieved. Thanks Bob. The issue at hand is: Terrorism and how to stop it. Doug Michael
