There has been countless bad news in the year of 2011 and seemingly nation leaders are getting used to these kind of news. For example, debt crisis in the US, even though President Obama has boasted they are still a "triple-A nation" regarding the credit rating, this doesn't change the fact that now America has slid down to AA+ rating.
And for the most recent London riot, the leader of the United Kingdom again seemed to have done nothing to help reverse the economy and employment sectors just to getting UK back on track, thus the riot happened. Of course, there are the opportunist rioters who just deliberately destroying things, but deep within the society, some thing must have triggered the overall riot.
I'm not saying the government is to blame completely, what I meant is all of these things just doesn't come out of nowhere. And the governments of countries should work out solutions of their nation's instability. Leaders' focus is not just boosting GDP and such, but to fix some of our fundamental elements of the country as well. For a developed country, we are starting to have problems that no developing country would've thought could happen. For instance in Australia itself, we have to face the issue to the Malaysian Solution. People will come for refuge since their lives in the developing country simply cannot compare to ours, and because of that, we can't just put them aside and ignore the problem.
This article mentioned about issues span across the chaos around Libya and the phone hacking scandal in the UK, and criticising the judgements and decisions country leaders have made. Nonetheless, things would have been better if they had made the right decisions instead of regressing. And it concludes with the irony that while Libya, Yamen, all of these nations are struggle to demand democracy, the world leaders were simply found "rusting and blunt in our hands"
