Hello Maurice, <<could have done>>
... could have, should have, did, and did not work out, and so someone else tried, and got the job half done, and now, the rest of the job is being done, history moves on, affording some the luxury to judge on who is nice, and who is not as nice.
And yet, at the end of every day, there is but one planet earth, and the end of history has not arrived, therefore all judgement may well be premature.
I think the last emperor of the Tang dynasty was an imbecile for allowing China to slip behind the rest of the world. What's the dude's name? I do not know. Was he a nice guy? I have not a clue. Does it matter? Not really.
