RE: I know a knowledge of science isn't a prerequisite for running a country...

[Paul Lavin]

I'm usually the guy that punts this learned discussion away from Europa ;-) 
but I take the back seat this time.

I copied these remarks (snipped here for brevity) to a friend that spent 20 
years in the SA military (under both governments) and is now happily an expat.

"They missed the mark by a mile, give T.M a million and the first thing he 
does is spend another ten million on revamping his house. He has had it 
done three times since he came to power at an average cost of 10 million 
dollars a pop.

The biggest killer in Africa is corruption."
Now we return to our regularly scheduled programme "How to get the world's 
space powers committed to exploring Europa ASAP."
