However, itis a competition in which almost every country in the world takes part. Every four years, fora brief moment, we see the world come together in peace and friendship. We feel hope again for the future of mankind, by rT recy 6 In 1724, Jonathan Swift wrote, ‘Whoever makes two blades of grass or two ears of corm grow where only one grew before serves mankind better than the whole race of politicians’. In Europe our farmers have done this. In 3709, whole villages in France died of hunger. Now in Europe, we can’t eat all the food we produce, IFonly politicians could find a way to share itwith those parts of the world where. there is famine, io 7 Weare still here!) } The last wonder of the modem - 4 world is simply that we are still hetesy We have had nuclear weapons for over 50 years that could destray the world, but we haven't used) them to do it.
