(In response to a very graphic, gory picture sent by AE to all in conversation to provoke, it was of a baby who was killed in cross-fire).
What did that achieve? What will having an extravagant party with models and celebrities to launch a boat that probably wont make it to its destination, just to make a point, really achieve? Maybe they are both meant to disgust.... but don't really help at all.

Nor will comparing people with Israelis or Palestinians, nor members of ETA, the IRA, the Bush Administration or any other. Let's face it, all these things have in common is bloodshed... and who wants that?

I'm not sure the calls of genocide etc are doing that much good either. But what do I know? We live in a society (and world) of Blame Culture; you did this, he did that, wasn't my fault etc. In the words of Bob Marley "while you're pointing fingers, someone else is judging you". Maybe if 'we' stopped point scoring and started looking beyond personal / political interests things would improve, but then look at the banks! If the planet were a bank, we would have saved it already!
