Next G8 summit set for island off U.S. coast

Atlanta — U.S. President Bush has chosen a posh island resort community on the Georgia coast to host next year's meeting of leaders from the world's major industrial countries.

The White House announced Tuesday that Sea Island will be the site of the G8 summit next June, a location Governor Sonny Perdue described as "a great venue for security." The island 100 kilometres south of Savannah is close to several major military bases and a federal law enforcement training center.

Protesters have had a growing presence at the annual summits, where leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States meet to discuss economic and political issues.

It's gonna be tough for the anti globalists to stir things up this time.

I think they should hold it at Caesar's Palace and put boxing gloves in the conference rooms labelled "France" and "Germany" etc.
