I do think Ecu that so many of your posts carry such an obvious political bias that people won't want to add their voice....

that aside, I do think this is about image rather than this single tragic case which has been jumped on for years by the media.  There are indeed many missing children,. and every case must be atragedy, so we can ask, why is a very public fuss being made about this case, and since this case happened in another country, would it not be better to made a 'push' for a missing child case in this country.

Cameron is doing this for publicity, but can you blame him?  We have a child who went missing years ago in another country, yet the parents have been presented to the pope, they have been on the front page of most papers, been on radio and television.  If he does sopmething it's vote grabbing, if he doesn't he's ignoring the plight of this family who obviously have the backing of the whole country......what's a PM to do?
