It is no surprise to me...after all, when each new Ceasar came to power many were the sycophants who hearlded his coming with august laurels that had yet to be earned.

Laurels like the Noblel Peace Prize have allready been awarded him without precedent, why does this surprise one?

In those times it was generally necessary to supply plenty of praise for the new Caesar. Failing to do so could be hazardous to your health.

It seems those times just may be coming back.

No more thank you button... so this "Thank you for this useful post"

Tantric is right too... I haven't seen yet a good outcome from judging anything or anyone too quickly. The unearned laurels come from a nation's deep desire to overcome the more conservative years and believe that it can turn and adapt to a world that's in desperate need of coexistence.
