We will see a lot more about immigration...and immigrants (migrants, seeking a better life), if 2006. For sure, no doubt.

What we're talking about in Cairo is poltical refugees, but there's the wider problem of immigration.  I was aware that there's a huge problem with leaky boats full of immigrants going down off the Spanish coast, but this comment by one of the founders of Medecins sans Frontier that  "undoubtedly 4000 dead at the bottom of the sea this year" saddened me.

John Lennon has it right, and here's to hope.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
