The G8 Farce

Well, well, well. G8 is over and another pointless meeting with our beloved politicians has come to an end. The result? Plenty of promises:
"The agreement within the G8 will follow the US proposal to increase the aid for fighting these diseases to $60 billion in the forthcoming years with $30 billion coming from the US".
Merkel will make the deal public on the summit's final day after a meeting with the heads of six African nations. Detail on the plans were not available, making it hard to tell how much new money the deal involves.

The final document agreed by the G8 also contains a promise that all leaders will "seriously consider" the binding emission cuts the EU and almost all G8 members have committed to. In other words, Bush will watch, while the rest of the world, hopefully, acts.
