From: "Phil Payne" 

When my son was small, he had some little figures from the Masters of the
Universe series - Skeletor, He-Man, etc.

I used to pull his leg about htem - "How can he be the Master of the
Universe when he loses his square mile of desert every week?"

Blair says Afghan desert key to world security

"Here, in this extraordinary desert, is where the future of world
security in the early 21st century is going to be played out," Blair
told his soldiers in remarks barred from publication until he flew out of
Camp Bastion in Helmand province.
