So generous a view! The G8 leaders will agree to the least necessary to 
placate public opinion and preserve their nations' places in the heirarchy 
of the world. The celeb voiced pleas for them to apply a moral underpinning 
to their considerations are politically and historically ignorant acts of 
egotism. At least Bush was honest in clearly stating he was putting US 
interests first. (meaning US ruling class)
