How did they do so well in the AOL war, it's obvious they are next to useless at anything without the power, weren't the forsaken the cream of the crop mostly, the upper echelons of the hierachy conducting the war? So these hapless fools (barring demi and moridin) and god knows what their underlings must have been like, "won" the war. I doubt they got incompentent, so that lends me to believe that Lews Therin was perhaps not the best choice to lead the forces of light, considering how bad he did against whats on offer now.
