Avaaz: "Wonderful - that's how I would describe our day! I know most of you will have been following the events in the media, picturing scenes of chaos and destruction. But let me be the first to tell you - it was nothing of the sort. Close to 100,000 people of all shapes, sizes, ages, nationalities and political inclinations showed up to march in Rostock. The violence that was strewn all over the media was the result of a very small minority whose actions by no means depict the hugely positive and peaceful vibe that ran through the Rostock march."
Kalovski: "This year's summit is held at a critical time for imperialism. On one hand, the economic and financial crisis of global capitalism continues to deepen and its adverse effects are mounting which makes it increasingly difficult for them to maintain their superprofits. US imperialism has unleashed brazen wars of aggression, such as those against Iraq and Afghanistan, to advance its economic interests. On the other hand, the worsening condition of billions of the world's people is generating resistance and struggle against imperialist domination."
Reality: "Forget the G8, it's time for a Brics summit.
Instead of waiting like supplicants outside the portals of the G8, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa should realise a summit of their own would transform the world order more effectively than membership in a club of last century's powers."
