A Sad Hypocrisy

The attacks against London fill me sadness and anger. Leaders such as George Bush and Tony Blair are correct when they say that the attackers have no regard for human life. They are vicious people.

Unfortunately, when these same men contrast these attackers to themselves, they are quite hypocritical. Mr. Bush gave a very eloquent comparison with the attackers and the people at the G-8 Summit. He said that the people at the G-8 Summit are dedicated to feeding the hungry, eradicating poverty, and generally helping humanity. This is a nice thought, and it is a goal to be obtained.

Instead of the positive aspects that Mr. Bush said that he devotes his attention, he has been responsible for murder as well. People are people and killing is always wrong. I became angry over Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair's hypocrisy. Of course, this was a dark event, but they have been responsible for creating the same sadness all over the world. I wish their actions more closely reflected their rhetoric.
