Precisely. Theory is all well and good (I wouldn't be a an academic 
if I thought otherwise) but - and especially where global injustice 
is concerned - theory is insufficient and will have to give way to 
(or at least proceed) to action if any successful outcome is to be 
reached. One only has to look at the recent debacle at the Hague for 
example of how taking often achieves little. At the end of the day, 
someone has to DO something.
