Well done.<br />I personally have thought the Man was dead for many years. He was rumoured to have been in poor health and generally tending to dialysis while avoiding bloodhounds is difficult to say the least. The fact that He was found in Pakistan, in a mansion, where We ultimately caught up to Him does not bring comfort. If anything it confirms that His support and popularity is much greater than many believe. I suspect that the fight has just begun.
