    your shots are hauntingly ill. (if i may). too brilliant. oh, and if i may again, i dont think itll spread. this fighting has little to do with border lines etc, but economics. people are poor, and when they are powerless they find avenues (or those with even less power) to exert their voice. sometimes those avenues are just not it. it happens everywhere. the poorest tend to be the most "xenophobic". eg, kenya. the fighting was not in the rich (or comfortable areas) areas, but amongst people who lived in squalor or in rural areas where there were little resources. eg, united states, etc, russia, eg, china, eg, cote d'ivoire, ghana, nigeria eg...the world will look down on the person who refuses to work for less than minimum wage because they are a citizen in that country, and grant more angst to the person who's so poor, and landless that theyre forced to. but little is directed to the person who wants to pay people pitiful wages because theyre desperate.

    I agree Makhaya. That is the reason we should be asking ourselves how WE as a nation managed to create this situation. I reiterate what I said yesterday, we have to ALL own the problem as being our own creation! This does not exonarate the perpetrators, it merely means that whether we like it or not (governement, big bussiness, communities and individuals) we have contributed to this and whether we like it or not We are ALL gone to reap the reward for this: innocent blood cries from the soil and in this the whole land is cursed. Yes, we shall pay!

    I do love this image. Personally, I think politicising these attacks is giving too much credit where it is undeserved. However it does become a political issue when the president's response is, "Humanity is indivisible ...blah, blah, blah... what breaks the fabric of respect... blah, blah, blah..."; and Tutu just says, "Stop! Please Stop!"
    Comparatively -- who do I hear? As the perpetrator? And on the other side is a simply put: "Awuleth'umshini wam". The people can't relate to the hoity toit. They just can't.
