2010 - HAITI

Belatedly, I'm afraid, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year.

In saying this, I am deeply conscious that for thousands of people in Haiti this year will be anything BUT happy.

It really is so dificult to understand that with dozens of governments involved, thousands of soldiers and volunteers in situ, and millions of dollars in help pouring into the banks, the thousands of tons of supplies already delivered are not getting through fast enough to the people who need them. They're just sitting there, at the airports and in the docks, rotting away in the hot Haitian sun, acting as detonators for violence in the street. Well, what else can these people do? If you're going to die anyway of hunger and thirst, at least go down fighting for a drop of clean water or a crust of stale bread. Surely there are plans traced for just such disasters; or have we not learnt anything from the Tsunamis, the Katrinas, and the other world-wide catastrophes we have been experiencing lately in these rapidly changing climatic conditions? Heads should roll. HEADS MUST ROLL.
INEFFICIENCY ON THIS SCALE CANNOT BE TOLERATED.
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.... NOW!

GAZA

I READ THE LATEST NEWS AND WATCH THE INDISCRIMINATE BOMBINGS ON TV AND MY HEART BLEEDS AND I WEEP WITH SORROW. (SEE PHOTOS ON THE LEFT)

IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE PERFECT WORLD WE STRIVED FOR IN THE SIXTIES? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBC3LSre10Y

- THIS WAS A BRITISH PROTECTORATE AT ONE TIME!

- SURELY WE CANNOT JUST TURN OUR BACK ON THESE PEOPLE.
- SURELY WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO VETO THE UNITED NATIONS EFFORTS TO PUT AN END TO THE ATROCITIES THAT ARE BEING COMMITED THERE.
- SURELY IF ISRAEL FEELS REPRISALS AGAINT HAMAS ARE REQUIRED THEN THEY SHOULD AIM THOSE REPRISALS AT HAMAS ITSELF AND NOT AT INNOCENT CIVILIANS WHO ARE CAUGHT IN THE MIDST OF THE SLAUGHTER.
- OR HAS THIS BECOME THE NORM NOW, AS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAK?

I READ THE LATEST NEWS AND WATCH THE INDISCRIMINATE BOMBINGS ON TV AND MY HEART BLEEDS.
