It maybe in the stars after all.

We may think that Indian politicians are a bunch of useless, selfish crooks but politicians of most major countries seem to be worthless pretenders, completely lacking in ideas. China is a secretive society where politicians take great pains to appear similar, even dying their hair black to blend in. Bo Xilai, although with jet black hair, tried to be charismatic and is now being reeducated in prison. If Carla Bruni was more famous than former president Nicolas Sarkozy the present French President, Francois Hollande has made a laughing stock of himself after being photographed riding pillion on a motorbike for trysts with his mistress, Julie Gayet. Ms Gayet seems to have dumped him for another man. Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan has just won election for president, after being Prime Minister for 2 terms. We know that all politicians want to be dictators and cling on to power forever so what's new? What is to be noted is that there was abusive criticism of Putin for rotating himself through the post of prime minister to beat the 2 term rule but there is not a peep out of the US, UK or Europe about Erdogan although he is an extremely corrupt man. He will kill anyone who protests against him and arrested all police chiefs who dared to investigate the allegations of corruption against him and his son. Trouble with thugs is that they mistake cunning for intelligence and think that power without any principle can continue forever. Erdogan is helping the Kurds in the north of Iraq to export oil from Irbil and Kirkuk, bypassing the Shia government of Iraq. Kurds are a part of the government in Baghdad so exporting oil separately is a de facto declaration of independence. Fun is that Turkey is vehemently opposed to an independent Kurdistan in northern Iraq because it has a large population of Kurds in the south who want independence from Turkey. Obama removed all US soldiers from Iraq so if the country is divided along sectarian lines he will be squarely to blame. He is already being blamed for the massive success of the Islamic State and the deaths of thousands of civilians. He has no clue as to further action so is supplying arms to Kurdish Peshmarga fighters. What will Erdogan do if the Kurds do declare independence? Previously Turkey used to send in its army but he has emasculated the army and antagonised the police so who will fight for him? Bush and Blair created the crisis by removing Saddam and Obama and Cameron created problems in Libya and Ukraine. Why is there a coincidence of completely incompetent politicians in most countries today. Is it something to do with the stars?
