    I think all the hoopla is just that. In all likelihood, the same people who have always been in control, are still in control – the military establishment.

    Nothing like a befuddled dunderhead to serve as the figurehead, and take the flack. Why else would any society ever suffer a dictator ? Dictators always ‘dictate’ at the good pleasure of the military cohort.
