Atherton's Analogy

Mike Atherton, one of my all time favourites, hits bulls eye with this comment.

Atherton added that India's behaviour toward the ICC conveyed an image of a country 'acting as superpowers tend to act: self-interest first and last and bugger the rest.'

"Last week, Malcolm Speed, the chief-executive of the ICC, found himself in a position much occupied by Kofi Annan and the United Nations in recent years: being bullied by a superpower for whom the notions of international law and collective responsibility have long ceased to have any meaning.

"He needs to stand his ground and we need to support him."
