Yesterday was The Holocaust Memorial day, while world leaders remembered the 6 million Jews, another 500 Kenyans died in the continuing tribal holocaust. Just as world leaders sat back and watched the cattle trucks roll towards the gas chambers, they sit now and watch machetes tearing through flesh and people being burned alive in their own homes. Never again? No it’s always been the same! They had and have the power….they have a choice of how they use it. The oppressed in 1940’s Germany had no power and no choice, over 60 years later neither do a majority of Kenyans, just remember that!

Yesterday's papers also included obituaries for the Indonesian mass murderer Suharto. The man was responsible for the death of over a million of his own people, but, by golly, he brought about great economic growth!
..indeed, but so did Hiltler...and rather more worringly if Gordon Brown's to be believed so has he, but then I've always said he is a dicktator of sorts. It seems that these dictators are able to bring about economic growth, but at what price? It's all about a balance and people like Suharto, Hitler etal, were all rather unbalanced. Cheers for commenting jon. (do I detect a note of sarcasm in it?)
