Jacques Chirac has gone without any fuss. Tony Blair is going next month all be it with a little encouragement. Putin has confirmed he is going next year inspite of propaganda on the BBC that he will change the constitution to stay for a third term. Bush also goes next year. Koizumi resigned months after winning majority in general elections. Even in corrupt tatalitarian China we saw Jiang Zemin succeed Deng Xiao Ping and then give way to Hu Jin Tao. Stranger still, there is no son, wife or mistress to take over the position of President or Prime Minister with the help of sycophantic, worthless, violent followers willing to riot and kill to maintain their cash flow. And what about my country, India? We have no way of getting rid of criminal politicians sucking our lifeblood for years and years. Shameless old men with hard, ugly faces lined by decades of lies, larceny and debauch stare at us from newspapers and television sets challenging us to do anything to stop them while we switch channels to hide our shame at our impotence. We seem to have endless millions of men with no talent and little education who depend on these satraps for their money and power and will do anything to ensure that these filthy politicians stay in power for ever. These 'chamchas' are more dangerous than anyone realises. Like cancer cells they are eating away at our society and passing on their putrid genes to another generation. Will we survive?
