Well there is the fact that being in exile means he has no power snoopcester Send a noteboard - 17/03/2011 01:00:27 PM
Plus the Government in exile he was head of is an elected one and I believe he has always spoken in favour of democracy and human rights - so given his lack of power we can't see what he would actually do, we tend to take him at his words.

Plus he's got pretty good odds of being better than China
