I wouldn't trust that, not sure of the quality of the water in that neck of the woods let alone wine, probably as rough as old boots. That's a point, is there a wine industry in Jerusalem? I'd probably find myself shouting 'He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!'

If you could guarantee my safety, I'd like to spend time with a despot, like Stalin, or Hitler, or Mao, or Pol Pot, just to find out if they genuinely believed what they were doing was for the greater good of their people.

Or were they just crazed on power.

I can tell you that one I think, in my very qualified opinion, that Stalin and Hitler probably started out for the greater good but became crazed whilst Mao and Pol Pot were just crazed.
