To paraphrase George W. Bush Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, you go to war with the narcissistic reprobate you have, not the principled and competent leader you might want or wish to have at a later time.

When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

Epitaph on a Tyrant, W. H. Auden

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;
He knew human folly like the back of his hand,
And was greatly interested in armies and fleets;
