This event is absolutely terrible, especially to those who have family and friends over there - myself included. I dearly hope that those criminals who murder innocent people in this way can be brought to some form of justice. And im glad to know that you folk are all ok.
Buuuut, the below statement REALLY pisses me off
Yes, because it takes death and carnage and destruction for you to do anything. And to 'show the world that you care about other nations', you of course need to help Britain, who you are close with anyway, and who needs help the least.
If you want to show that you care for other nations, ratify the Kyoto protocol. Help with debt relief. Do something about Zimbabwe. Take positive action rather than just spurting off a series of gibberish speeches about the people of the world when you dont actually do that much to help the people of the world.
Oh, and go see Hotel Rwanda.
