Good to see Bono at the memorial service today.
He's a very important person.

They have all signed off on far more deaths of civilians, cosied up to more ruthless dictators and sold arms to anyone who'd front up the price (often in the form of UK/US loans).

If Putin's absence is any indication, then I doubt there will be any assistance coming from Russia, which just leaves China as their only hope. Good Luck with that one!
