Smothering the children with love

It looks like Dubya isn’t the only guy who doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes:

Police said no one was killed in the crush at the party at the former president's house in the village of Qunu, but television footage showed children and their parents toppling a barbed-wire fence and police fighting them back with sticks.

The event was marred two years ago by similar chaotic scenes, when 20,000 people turned up and children were hurt in a stampede that forced security guards to cut down fences.

Ummm… it might be me, but don’t you think there might be a better way to help treat poor kids to a Merry Christmas than by luring them to possible injury, abandonment, and/or death?
