King is dead, long live the King ! :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by B Shah (United Kingdom), Jun 30, 2010 at 04:44

Looks like presidents act very much like rulers of old !

Pharaohs used to remove the names and records of previous rulers when they came to power. They would appropriate the good stuff and put their name to it and obliterate the rest.

All kings and queens have done this through the centuries.
