Welcome to the Violent World of Mr. Hopey Changey

"When Britain lost control of Egypt in 1956, Prime Minister Anthony Eden said he wanted the nationalist president Gamal Abdel Nasser 'destroyed … murdered … I don’t give a damn if there’s anarchy and chaos in Egypt”. Those insolent Arabs, Winston Churchill had urged in 1951, should be driven “into the gutter from which they should never have emerged'.The language of colonialism may have been modified; the spirit and the hypocrisy are unchanged."
