As I read your Castro post Paul, the name that crept on to my lips was Muammar al-Gaddafi, the British equivalent of said bearded cigarillo.
Not many people know that Gaddafi was trained at the British Army Staff College and returned to Libya in 1966 as a commissioned officer in the British Army Signal Corps. Three years later he went on to stage a bloodless coup against King Idris 1 of Libya.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
