My guess is there must be some hospital somewhere offering special lobotomies, probably called “moralectomies”. Surgeons carefully remove every last milligram of morality from the patient, who go on to be chief executives, managing directors, finance ministers and Robert Mugabe. Presumably, this is replaced with a kind of tunnel vision: these are some of the most hated people in their native countries, only slightly above child molesters and murderers in most people’s opinions, yet they don’t seem to care. This is only possible, I believe, if they don’t notice the hatred directed their way.
