Hi Mick Cable

I am enjoying your posts.

I think that many people make the mistake of interpreting Rawat as though he were logical.

It is quite simple. He has that personality type that most charismatic leaders have, and that is a tendency towards the sociopathic. Some are milder than others. Eg Hitler was the extreme. Most western politicians truly believe in their own sense of destiny, and that therefore their judgments are in some way tinged with the greatness of being a great man, or woman.

Bullshit of course.

Anyway, what I meant to say, is history teaches when a leader dies who has certain characteristics, forces rush in to fill the vacuum.

That is why regime change in Iraq was nevergoing to work.

Like begets like.

My guess is that someone with a similar personality disorder will be ready and waiting. Just as their was a power struggle for supremacy when his father died.

He is not logical, nor is the cult. They work on power politics, which in essence is not a cosy pleasant world.
