ARTICLE: “G-8 Nations Shape Plan to Fight Diseases: Goal Is Getting Drug Makers to Generate Vaccines Against Illnesses in Developing World,” by Michael M. Phillips, Wall Street Journal 13 February 2006, p. A68.

Just another interesting example of how the G-8 is naturally becoming the Functioning Executive of the Core. It’s where all the key decisions are being made--not the archaic UN Security Council, which is banging-your-shoe-on-the-conference-table antique in comparison.

Why the hell would anyone expect the G-8 to be promoting a Core-wide response to infectious diseases. The G-8 is the “everything else” forum that’s already vastly overshadowed the allegedly central “security” forum of the UNSC. That’s the nature of global stability today: probably 80% everything else, and only about 20% kinetic.
