Most of us, Iranians I mean but it’s not confined only to us, have this idea about how politicians all around the world, and especially in the United States and Western Europe, (England as a famous "Daii-jaan-Napoleon-type" example!) have a broad and comprehensive knowledge about what’s going on around the world. We assume that they know all the little tricks and sophistications of different cultures and civilizations and have meticulous models to predict the events and act accordingly, in the foreseeable future. Well, as much as I go through professional analysis and lectures, done by prominent journalists, politicians, political thinkers and even people deeply in charge of managing the world, I can hardly find any extraordinary point or comment or even analysis that couldn’t come to the mind of any ordinary, non-politician, non-expert, who knows enough about the background of the subject and who is simply following the news on a daily basis as a part-time hobby or enthusiasm and sometimes their decisions, considering massive errors in judgment or overlooking some obvious facts, are also strengthening this suggestion that they really don’t know considerably more than what we, normal people, do.
Final word, it seems they are not blessed with any special tool to see the future more accurately than we do yet they have the power to affect the life of millions of people.
It is Scary isn’t it?
