The infantile aspect of dictatorship is to view the whole world as a responsive extension to one’s own glory and power. http://www.hrw.org/news/2012/10/03/gaza-arbitrary-arrests-torture-unfair-trials The social architecture spun around the “malignant narcissist” occupies the core drive of the Islamic Small Wars in their every form, from the Brotherhood in America to the shifts in destruction wrought in Syria by the Assad regime and the assembly of opposed fanatics (of those two sets: different talk — same walk: they are of the same personality invested in their own over-the-top absolute authority).

So done.
