    "World leaders began arriving at the World Summit on Sustainable Development on Monday hoping to settle differences over an action plan
    to end what South African President Thabo Mbeki called "global apartheid" between rich and poor."

    you know .. five years ago these scum would have propped up Mugabe and had him quoting crap like this.Sorry, but you are not going to convince me with some quote from a voodoo practicing ,spear chucking terrorist like Mbeki... this is the same man who has silentley condoned the masses of Central african refugees in the townships who are afflicted with AIDS to rape young girls as a "Voodoo Cure" .Give me a break Thabo..

    simple fact .. he has not spoken out against the practice and has done very little to educate the refugees.As far as a reference.. BBC has had numerous stories about the dramatic rise of HIV/AIDS amongst young girls(in some cases youngboys) in SA due to rape.And have placed the blame heavily on Mbeki's doorstep.

    Do the BBC refer to him as a voodoo practicing, spear chucking terrorist , or did you come up with that all by yourself ?

    I was recently reading an article in the European edition of the Wall Street Journal about French labor laws. I believe this article focused on John Deere or Catepillar (I can't remember which one) in France. But because of the 35-hour work week and the 5 weeks of paid vacation every year, both mandated by law, this corporation was having serious problems with efficency and output. In turn, these conditions force many corporations to look outside of France for other labor sources, thus contributing to globalization.

    If it's a "simple fact" that Mbeki's condones the raping of young girls as a cure for AIDS, then provide a BBC link saying so, or I bin your post.
