This conference was never more needed. George Bush has asked the US Congress to add 196 billion dollars as a supplement to the 450 billion dollars he has already got for war spending in 2008. He calls the supplemental spending the "Global War on Terror Request" and it includes plans for a new bunker busting bomb which could be geared toward bombing underground targets in Iran.

And Britain's prime minister Gordon Brown has now repeatedly stated his support for Bush's horrifying plans for endless global war, based on what Brown calls "our shared values and our shared destiny".
