Autocratic rulers like to hear repeated praise, and like to hear how great everything is ...especially if it is coming from some of the people in charge...you know tribal leaders, businessmen, government officials ... I am pretty sure that deep in their heart army generals knew that kissing the Shah's feet knew is messed up, but sacrificed a little bit of dignity for the hefty rewards.

Especially when I keep swinging between social habits/traditions, psychological theories and lack of education, as explanations for such irresponsible behavior!! When I was at school, back in Jordan, I used to believe that it takes generations to get our social structure clean from such unhealthy fondness, but it seems like the problem is way complicated that the younger generations are just obtaining French Education in Ass Kissing!! Man O Man they know how to work it!! I’ve always pondered about this, but never really could touch the exact reason behind it!

In relation to that, some weeks ago, and while reading a cover story in a Jordanian magazines, I noticed how unintelligent and unfocused the story and the interview was; basically it stood out as an advertisement, full of ass kissin for that business and its managers. It’s just degrading the level of trust between readers and publishers; furthermore, it’s affecting the content quality in a negative way. Will the future of research, investigations and articles in our magazines will be like that, a space for the highest bidder or a space for ass kissers. I hope not.
