'Cameron said: “I simply don’t understand how you can’t understand how democracies have a right to defend themselves. I would have thought this argument is particularly powerful right here in Kuwait which, 20 years ago, was invaded by a thuggish bullying neighbour who disrespected your sovereignty, invaded your country and destroyed parts of your capital city."

This is an important moment in world history! Tunisia may have sparked the first flame but the whole world is now or soon will be on fire! And if some dismissively or ignorantly keep on calling what is happening in Egypt ‘unrest’, it is obvious for the more candid of us that this unrest has now taken the whole Arab Street by storm, may have spread to Iran, and is to be expected in every region of the world where youth have a voice!

Events, dear boy, events. Would that the American and Pakistani governments had taken to heart the apocryphal advice of Harold Macmillan.

When Raymond Davis preposterously shot to death two Pakistani youths in broad daylight in downtown Lahore and a rescue vehicle crushed to death a third Pakistani, the two governments did what they do best: they screwed up.

Maybe western leaders are afraid that, having seen what it is like when a people dictate to their government what it should do for them, rather than the reverse, we might start to take our own rights back, wholesale.
