Desert campaign to save humanity

[DoYouEverWonder]

18 May, 2005



The Dalai Lama and a host of Nobel prize winners have joined actor Richard Gere for a conference aimed at righting the wrongs of modern humanity.

King Abdullah of Jordan is hosting the two-day meeting at the ancient desert city of Petra.

Authors Elie Wiesel and VS Naipaul are among the artists and scientists in Petra to discuss the way things are - and the way they should be.

Former US President Bill Clinton is also due to join the conference.

In his opening address to the conference, entitled A World in Danger and held ahead of a World Economic Forum meeting on the Jordanian shores of the Dead Sea, King Abdullah said the modern world was at a "critical crossroads".

But defense contractors, Republicans, Jesus, and God want the bloodshed. Surely mortal humans are no match for them! We need Aliens to come save us!
