I've thought about dictators and their thoughts for the future of their countries. The lack of concern for the future seems pretty common even if they don't say it outright.
Castro planned on putting his brother in power even though he really doesn't have what it takes to hold power. Saddam Hussein was going to put one of his sons into power and that would have led to a power struggle that would have torn the country apart.
Megalomaniac dictators seem to think they are their countries and without them the country ceases to exist. The ultimate in selfishness.

Hitler did the same thing...when the war was almost over, he said that he no longer cared and the people and left them to their own devices.

he is a Fidelista in the spirit of, as the Spanish like to say, "Primero soy yo."
(Or, "Me first!") It's always been: WHAT ABOUT ME...WHAT ABOUT ME...WHAT ABOUT ME...
