Paul Barras was unbelievably over the top. He was trying to convince Napoleon to invade England to “purge the world of the monsters.” But Napoleon thought it was a bad idea, so Barras said this to him: “May St James's Palace crumble into dust. Your country wishes it. Humanity requires it. Revenge demands it.”
