Interesting insight Marc. I agree that the leaders of today didn't just all of a sudden become sociopaths and psychotics. Those tendencies have always been prevalent among the powers that be. I would also go as far as to say that these "personality disorders" are more a sign of the people of our culture rather than of leadership specifically.

It's one of those deals where you can focus in really narrowly and still draw accurate conclusions, but if you step back a bit and look at the bigger picture, the same conclusions still apply.
