You honestly think he's a homicidal madman who would kill his own citizens, whom he is sworn to protect if not for the consequences? Your average fundie will keep his word, at least. I just don't see it.

And I don't see it either. That is what I was trying to say. I was clarifying and earlier point I made that may have implied thinking that.

Never Attribute to Malice What Can Be Adequately Explained By Incompetence.
You state this as if its some sort of law of nature; its completely unfounded considering the VAST number of cases in human history where cruelty was diliberatly caused not by incompetence, but by malice, religous fanaticism, or the persuit of gain.
In those cases the actions of the perpetrators can't be explained by stupidity. If I see someone cut another person down with a machete, that action can't be seen as anything other than deliberate malevolence. On the other hand, if somone cuts me off on the highway its probably not because they're trying to kill me, but rather that they were paying insufficient attention.
