This is going to sound horribly racist
but it seems to me that in certain (I want to say many but I can only thingk of a few examples such as Charles Taylor, Idi Amin and Mugabe) African cultures they actually seem to like fat bullies as their leaders.

They respect strength - these chaps are like the fucking silverbacks in a band of gorillas.

I JUST HAVE MADE A PRIMATE ANALOGY REGARDING AFRICAN CULTURES*.

Yeah and that Mandella.
What you're doing there is naming a couple of countries that have had bastard leaders in Africa and ignoring all the ones without big bully leaders.

I read 'big man political science'
in a cod-African 'me Tarzan you Jane' voice.
