...forget how hard some countries must fight to hold on to it. With a population of 1 billion people, Indians have to fight at least 10 times as hard as any Westerner to be heard. And even then, most of their voices are drowned out by the shouts of corrupt investors and politicians. Yet wondrously enough, each citizen wakes up every morning with the perseverance to keep India afloat. Robinson claimed that unfulfilled expectations raised by marketing campaigns such as "Incredible India" only make Westerners realize "the lack of progress."

Instead, the government is successfully exploiting international aid as a source of political legitimacy...
...quartet--the U.S., the European Union, the U.N. and Russia--for refusing to accept Israel's existence, renounce violence and adhere to past peace accords signed by Israel and the Palestinians. And yet Hamas still gained support, largely because Abbas failed to rid himself of the corrupt officials that had turned the Fatah movement into a band of gangsters and mercenaries.
