"Anyone who complains about going without sausage or bread for a day is not a Turkmen." -whacky dictator This guy really knew how to run a country.......live in lavish palaces, do all sorts of weird things, operate on a total kleptocracy, and then claim its what the people want-and that he'd be letting them down if he didnt
