Africa - The Western World's Chew Toy

In the coming days, 8 countries are going to meet to talk about what's going on in Africa. The news would like to change the subject at every turn. Bush just wants to misdirect our attention (Who the hell ever mentioned the Kyoto treaty)

An article that claims when you put the Iraq war aside you see Blair and Bush are completely different people. It says Blair is a socialist wishing to save the world and Bush is a "hardheaded realist" It also goes on to change the subject to the Downey street memos.

Many protesters point out Africa will need to be helped over the long haul. Also we need to remember Africa was raped. We don't need private sectors as favours in return for debt relief. The western world's favours were the forced emmigration from Africa. They paid for us, now pay em back.

Bush is trying to stress that he and Blair are not buddy buddy just because of the Iraq situation. He then goes on to say that we are not going to lose money due to constrictions on environmental standards? Come on Bush, stop trying these magic tricks. You aren't misdirecting anyone.
