The tragedy that is a lack of consideration for the man, woman and child on the streets.

Real peace can only be negotiated with the Governed and not 'Governments'. Israeli blockade of Gaza leads only to an alienation of the Man, Woman, and Child on the streets. This can only serve to perpetuate mistrust and conflict.

Mwai Kibaki's declaration that he was the duly elected President of Kenya directly after shaking hands on a truce with Odinga sends the wrong message to the man, woman and child on the streets. It is a declaration of contempt for their concerns. This again would only perpetuate mistrust and conflict.
