Verbalized ideas only encumber these primal parables. The singular glory of Sankai Juku is that it achieves almost pure metaphor. It is not like anything else...
Instead, he had to look Presidential and he was trapped by his own lack of intellectual vigor as well as a singular lack of experience in defending his government rather than attacking someone else's.
