"What a way to run the world"

"Clubs are all too often full of people prattling on about things they no longer know about. On July 7th the leaders of the group that allegedly runs the world - the G7 democracies plus Russia - gather in Japan to review the world economy. But what is the point of their discussing the oil price without Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest producer? Or waffling about the dollar without China, which holds so many American Treasury bills? Or slapping sanctions on Robert Mugabe, with no African present? Or talking about global warming, AIDS or inflation without anybody from the emerging world? Cigar smoke and ignorance are in the air".
