Trust me.
Your patience will be rewarded. Let me show you. When Saddam Hussein was
Iraq's vice president, he spent a decade building
a secret service loyal to him before using it
to help seize power from his boss. Joseph Stalin spent seven long years
cozying up to Lenin before the father of Russia
finally put him in charge. Uganda's Idi Amin patiently stacked the army
with members of his tribe, the Kakwa, who then helped him topple the president. Hitler almost blew his shot
by ignoring this lesson and jumping the gun
