The G-8 leaders are meeting at Gleneagles to ratify plans to provide 
further debt relief to African nations (those which aren't ruled by 
corrupt despots and genocidal warlords), to discuss other ways of 
easing African poverty, and to implement protocols aimed at reducing 
global warming and long-term environmental degradation. Those are 
issues that should be discussed, initiatives that should be supported 
and put into effect.

What's most disturbing about yesterday's terrorist attack on London is 
that the jihadists who perpetrated the bombings and the protestors in 
Edinburgh seem now to be on the same "side". Both groups were 
attempting to derail the G-8 meeting and to hijack the agenda of those 
talks.
