15. Remorse is not in the rhetorical inventory of people like that.

Not the Nazis, not the socialists, not the communists, not the Italian or Spanish fascists, not religious control freaks, from Torquemada to the Taliban, for all the evil and suffering they have inflicted on the people over whom they ruled, the one thing they never offered was remorse, an apology. Their only regrets are that they were removed from their positions of power, whether by nature, illness, or violence. They really thought they would be there eternally, and it was as if mortality was an unexpected surprised that caught them fully unaware.
