British member of Parliament Lord Andrew Phillips, in an interview with BBC Radio, says “To hell with America,” and means it. He’s just returned from meeting with Dr. Ismail Haniyeh of the activist group Hamas in Gaza, and he’s all fired up about their moderate message.

Highlights:

“To hell with the Americans, frankly…”

“The roadmap has been a roadmap to nowhere. We have done absolutely nothing and the despair within Palestine, the sense of betrayal that they feel towards us in particular, the double standards and hypocrisy that they think we’re guilty of and which if I’m absolutely honest I can share that sensation.”

“I was impressed with Mr Haniyeh. He’s a moderate, he‘s doing his best, but he has no traction on that situation without legitimacy and some sign that the West takes him and his government seriously.”

In every language, the first word after "Mama!" that every kid learns to say is "Mine!" A system that doesn't allow ownership, that doesn't allow you to say "Mine!" when you grow up, has -- to put it mildly -- a fatal design flaw. From the time Mr. Developing Nation was forced to read "The Little Red Book" in exchange for a blob of rice, till the time he figured out that waiting in line for a loaf of pumpernickel was boring as f*ck, took about three generations. ... Decades of indoctrination, manipulation, censorship and KGB excursions haven't altered this fact: People want a piece of their own little Something-or-Other, and, if they don't get it, have a tendency to initiate counterrevolution.
