and than go on to read Chirac speech, what we said on 25th resonates today in his speech, we do have a clear conscience based on which we write here and hence it touches chord with people who have a conscience, some like Chirac create one for grandstanding but whenever they do we speak with unison, sparkling conscience are usually on same wave length more often than not..
On 25th I wrote..
Recent ‘Tsunami’ was a greatest unifying moment in the history of mankind, we all realized that how our disasters are common and our pains are shared, our destiny can only be great if we share our burdens, from ashes and destruction is emerging a new hope, from one corner of the earth to the other mankind feels pain for their brethren they never had anything in common, this is a new world emerging, these are changes that only an optimist can see.

Today Chirac ...
Chirac said the tsunami that struck Asian coastlines last month -- possibly killing up to 300,000 people -- should trigger not only aid to that region but a broader coordinated drive by developed nations to reach out to the Third World.
"The world suffers chronically from what has been strikingly called the 'silent tsunamis.' Famine. Infectious diseases that decimate the life force of entire continents," Chirac said in a video message from Paris to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
The annual meeting, in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, has taken on increased importance in recent years as globalization and common threats -- from terrorism to increased vulnerability to natural disasters -- have made the world's nations and governments more dependent on each other.
Chirac alluded to such interdependence, saying that natural disasters, political unrest, uncontrolled migration and extremism are "breeding grounds for terrorism" -- suggesting developed nations had a stake in resolving the problem. |
