Berlusconi - Is he mad or bad?
He is now making out that Mussolini was a good guy. Excuse me, but good guys are not responsible for loss of freedom, torture, deaths, genocide etc.
Putin - Is he mad or bad?
He is now making out that Stalin was a good guy, even revising the school curriculum to describe him as a "competent manager" whose actions where "entirely rational". He completely overlooks the purges, the gulags, the famines and all the millions of deaths he was responsible for.
Do Berlusconi and Putin subconsciously admire and wish to be like these 2 horrific dictators of the past?
Why would a man want to be like that unless he were either mad or bad?
Could it be that they have such a huge conceit, that they truly believe, that only they can put right all the problems of their country. Done for the good of everyone in the country, they would argue, it gave them the right to take any action no matter how heinous. In their eyes everyone else is a fool, of no worth.
Words like narcissistic and psychopath float around my mind.
