I don't mind Ianto.W. I defend your right to have an opinion which is different to mine. I have no other way of knowing what is going on other than what the media tells us. It is the same with all these disaster stories. I do however, feel that the help would have been speedier if the population had been white americans.I think it is wrong to put the blame on the American people...but maybe the corrupt politicians should be taking the blame. And yes I would look twice if it was Africa.
Take the Sudan situation......Tony Blair says that it is at the top of his agenda....but the problem in Darfur has been in existence for years and no-one wants to do anything about it......pretty soon we are going to be seeing some horrendous outcomes. So the question should be 'Are we any better?'
