    Yup, a bastard. But 3,000 is nothing compared to many other "leaders".

    And which countries put him there in the first case? Same one that helped Baptista along with a myriad of others. Realpolitik is all very well and good, but to then take the moral high ground as well is a bit much.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
