its funny (kinda)
that blair is such a good speach maker. he talks so eloquently about situations, and you really believe him at the time...
'I tell you if Rwanda happened again today as it did in 1993, when a million people were slaughtered in cold blood, we would have a moral duty to act there.'
Human rights groups estimate around four million have died in Congo over the past five years. Since Blair told his Brighton audience the international community 'could, with our help, sort out the blight that is the continuing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where three million people have died through war or famine in the last decade', at least another million have perished.
Blair went on: 'The state of Africa is a scar on the conscience of the world. But if the world as a community focused on it, we could heal it. And if we don't, it will become deeper and angrier.'
fact is he does fuck all. He is so vacuous and inane, its untrue.
at least the one thing you can say for bush, that if he says somethin, he does it, however misdirected.
like I said before our government are a spineless bunch of spin doctors, much in the way the Kelly enquiry is highlighting
