When you see the qualifications of the author "Political Scientist" you should immediatelly label it as rubbish. A "Political Scientist" is not a scientist just a toadie for the government that employs him. His findings are based only on his and his masters' interpretation of the material examined. It probably occupied his appointment for 12 months and for which he was paid a lot of money.
Come to think of it this description probably describes 99% of political advisors.
Thomas is definitely my friend too!
