These are difficult times. Regional wars, the latest being the US-led attack on Iraq, continue to erupt on new frontiers. Globalisation brings about not only borderless markets but also financial turbulence and, lest we forget, highly contagious diseases which are exacting a heavy toll on the global economy.
