Speech to European Parliament June 2005. |
I fear my own conscience on Africa. I fear the judgement of
future generations, where history properly calculates the gravity
of the suffering. I fear them asking: but how could wealthy
people, so aware of such suffering, so capable of acting, simply
turn away to busy themselves with other things? What greater
call to action could there be? Did they really know and yet
do nothing? I feel that judgement of the future alongside the
now. It gives me urgency. It fills me with determination.
