But the cult leader will die, the cult will die with him, and the world will only have remembered the death toll and the unheard cries for mercy.

And the cult leader can shield himself from all confrontation with followers calling him a hero. No death toll or cries for mercy can match the volume of anyone calling his deeds justified.
