Make Poverty History or Make the G8 History?

I have just read on CounterPunch this excellent article
When White Band Spells White Feather - How Glo-Bono-Phonies and Trojan Horse NGOs Sabotage the Struggle Against Neoliberalism By PATRICK BOND, DENNIS BRUTUS and VIRGINIA SETSHEDI
I have been writing on this blog for a while about the risks that the campaign "Make Poverty History" may have for the social justice and antiwar movement. As a result, I got lots of criticism and even more insults. I am very glad and grateful to learn now that the same concern and skepticism is coming from experiences with a much more meaningful importance and background than my voice may have. Please, take a moment to read this article and let's make the G8 and everything it means history!
