We were all surprised when US president George Bush nominated Paul Wolfowitz for head of the World Bank. The former deputy secretary of defence was one of the driving forces behind the Iraq war, and has always been a strong supporter of George W. This is why the world community was amazed when Wolfowitz took office on june 1st, and even more surprised by the speeches he made during his trip to Africa, where he showed that, not only was he ready for the job, but looked forward to helping the developing nations of the world with aid, etc… The question now is, whether his initial statements have been sincere or a futile way to change public view towards him. A good point is that he has already openly criticised methods that harm developing world agriculture, such as massive subsidies in medc’s (a common tecnique used by George W) We will have to wait for more events to unfold to decide wether Wolfowitz is working at the right place…

All of you that have seen both fahrenheit9/11 and hotel rwanda might wonder why F9/11 is rated R/18 and hotel rwanda is only PG/13….. WHen you walk out of the movie theatre from seeing hotel rwanda your face is white. You are shocked. If the movie is so shocking then why did we not pay any attention back in 1994 at the atrocities that were going on?(I exclude myself and those of my generation, as I am only 15)Why did clinton refuse to send troops into Rwanda?(was it because of the evident image problem caused in SOmalia?)WHy did german, french, british , spanish, armies refuse to send in troops?My cousin(22years old) reminded me that while that was happening the world was paying attention to the O.J Simpson trial. And if this movie really is causing this much commotion, why is help being refused to sudan??the exact same thing is happening there at the moment and nobody moves a finger to help them. Not even NGO’s do, after the asian tsunami…Is it because the world is afraid action against the arab government in he darfur area will provoke Al Qaeda and other groups?…The movie was supposed to teach us a lesson, and if nothing is done, 2015’s big hit will be “Hotel Sudan” if we arent careful…….
