9. Wow. But you're absolutely right, that makes perfect sense.

I do remember that even those who should have supported him joined the call for his removal. I can't imagine what pressures came to bear, but I remember and none of us here, far from whatever was going on, could understand. To us, he was the best and the brightest - and he spoke so well for us. And it had been a hard won initial victory, he was prevented from assuming office for such a ridiculously long time. So I can understand the bitterness, it's good to see him speaking publicly once again. And it really is a tragedy, the country lost a lot when we lost such a talented voice.
