Yep. But there's consolation...

What would you like to come back as? King over the British?
After Blair they will believe anything you tell them.

Keep that review of Bush- pushing further and further to greater
failure (madness).

That's the fate of the lions: to drag everybody else and themselves
into doom. If there's any consolation is that they'll meet their
justice. They'll be swallowed by the jungle...

Film 'Aguir The Wrath of God'

"The centerpiece of the story is the figure of Aguirre, played with
crazed demonism by Klaus Kinski. He's terrifying in the part -- his
lips contort underneath cold blue eyes that convey a ruthlessness that
slips, not so slowly, into insanity. By placing him and his arrogant
delusions about himself and the environment he finds himself in,
Herzog seems to be criticizing the entirety of Western culture, from
imperialism to Nazism to the American occupation of Vietnam. Aguirre
and those who follow him are ultimately destroyed by their own
delusions of grandeur; in the end, the world they're confronting is
simply too large and complex to be encompassed by their petty plans
and ambitions."
