Well, let's face it, the British Prime Minister is much more likely to learn something new by watching 25 American films, than President Obama will, scrawling notes with a silly pen fashioned out of war time junk.

When will modernity reach British elite circles anyway? Are we to wait until the Queen loses jurisdiction over the Falklands before British hubris is finally put to pasture for good?

Bravo Barak. Don't reward the British for all of the dumb short-sighted policies they implemented when they were ruling the world a century ago. We've been paying dearly from their neanderthal divide and conquer tactics.

It's time to remember why we kicked the Brits out of here to begin with and not show them any special treatment at all until they are prepared to nibble on that stiff upper lip a bit and reflect upon what a vicious, foolhardy and ugly power they once were.
