OXFAM Report + WPP

Folks,

I adivse you all to go read this shocking OXFAM report about military expenses in the world in 2006. Here's a little quote from it :


"Global military spending this year is estimated to reach US$1,059bn, outstripping the highest figure reached during the Cold War in real terms, and roughly fifteen times current international aid expenditure. This growth in military budgets has caused a boom for the arms industry with the top 100 arms companies seeing their sales increase by almost 60 per cent from US $157bn in 2000 to US $268bn in 2004."


And here's a reminder that you have THREE days left to go see the World Press Photo. Hurry up, it's a must-see!
