IAWTC. Wasn't Tywin a pretty good Hand? A terrible person, but a good ruler.

[(Anonymous)]

ehh, by the time he engineered the Red Wedding, I think he'd forgotten that a ruler who wants to keep his state should avoid being despised and hated. The Red Wedding has tarred the Lannisters with the brush of the contemptible Freys.

[lovelycudy]

Wasn't he the Mad King's Hand, too? It's been a while. And IDK, the RW was a very smart move. Horrible, but smart.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Yeah. He even had a certain "logic" to it, though in true Tywin fashion, it still remained self-/family-serving. He essentially put an end to the war ravaging the kingdoms in one fell swoop. Since we don't know much about what he might have done politically afterward to manage the Iron Islands and Stannis situations, it was a very clever move. Especially since it's the Freys who receive the brunt of the hatred for it, not the Lannisters.

[lovelycudy]

Yeah. The Red Wedding destroyed the North rebellion with one single stroke without Tywin having to soil his own hands. We will never know what would have happened afterwards, though.

Tywin's downfall was his lack of understanding when it came to his own family (and boy, he was a crap father) not his political inability.

[(Anonymous)]

Only a smart move in the short term. In the long term, probably, not so much.

[solequeene]

We'll never know, will we?

Depends on what you define as 'good.' Winning a war, staying in power? Sure. But he went all scorched earth on the country, and even Jaime realises at the end of his last chapter that winter is about to start, no one knows how long it's going to last, and the entire last harvest has been ruined.

I'd also argue that it's pretty damn stupid to ignore what's going on at the Wall.

I'm sure all the wannabe ruler who ignored actual threats because they were busy scheming will have their comeuppance at the end.

[lovelycudy]

I meant when he was Aerys' Hand, weren't there twenty years of prosperity under his rule?

[(Anonymous)]

It's pretty easy to have twenty years of prosperity when you have basically twenty years of continuous summer.

[solequeene]

Sure, but prosperity is more than not having a winter.

[(Anonymous)]

This is something that's bothered me about Tyrion from the beginning--his insistence that the Wall is a useless boondoggle and that there's nothing on the other side of it but imaginary grumkins and snarks. The problem with folk who are used to thinking of themselves as the cleverest person in the room is that they have trouble realizing that they may be wrong.
