As I searched for fallen dictator statues, I was expecting to find a lot more than I actually found.

The fallen statues of 20th century dictators seem outnumbered by the statues of dictators that are still standing. Kim Il Sung and his son are still standing. Castro is still standing (even after the little tumble he took the other day). Mao is still standing. Samuel Lee's hero, Ho Chi Minh is still standing. Samuel Lee is still cherished, even by those who probably only shook his hand a couple of times at conferences.

It tells you something about the state of the humanity.
