Competence is more important than decency in in a leader

Chew on that under Pol Pot.

Idjit, and scary one at that.

And thus the point is made: Pol Pot was both monstrously indecent and utterly incompetent. He was man with a chip on his shoulder who wanted to punish those parts of society he felt had looked down on him in his younger days, and then transform Cambodia into a perfect and classless society. In other words, he wanted Utopia but did not understand that in Latin it means “no place”.
