Post by: Kosh on July 12, 2008, 09:56:28 am: and be afraid (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/07/12/do1202.xml)

Pretty thoughtful article about how most of our leaders dont seem have any clue how to deal with today's reality. Any thoughts?

The Russians may no longer be Communists, but they still know how to enjoy the crisis of capitalism.

I liked this line best.

As for the topic: It's quite clear that those are not the world leaders that can do much to change things. Environmentalists will be the ones. The question is: Will their numbers and efforts be sufficient?

I don't see the leaders any worse or any better than they were before. The problems are just getting bigger (as their scale is slowly unfolding).
