Go Soros Go!

George Soros is famous for being one of the most famous people on the planet having made his money bringing down the British Pound in 1992 on a day when he made over a Billion dollars in profit. Today he's made headlines for giving away another $5 Million to MoveOn.org in a bid to bring down Bush. link

"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world," Soros said. Then he smiled: "And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is." He has elicited cries of foul play from the right. And with a tight nod, he pledged: "If necessary, I would give more money."

Recently Soros has become notorious for supporting the left whilst still raking in the profits. He supports many educational projects in Eastern Europe through the Soros Foundation especially in what he calls 'open societies' ie eradicating corruption to make societies and economies more transparent and accountable. He's also got some powerful ideas about healthcare and the future of world economies. He's not about to give unqualified support though - in a BBC interview recently he said:

"The United Nations is not an organisation that is terribly effective in promoting open society because it is an association of states... states always put their national interests ahead of the common interest.

"There is a group of - I would call them extremists - who have the following belief: that international relations are relations of power, not of law, that international law will always follow what power has achieved,"

huh!


By the way... On a related note.... Is this getting too tabloid? Just LOOK at that 'headline'!
