Maybe he suffered from that god syndrome some doctors seem to have. Thinking they're god or something. And he does become a Bajoran God in a sense.

The funny thing is that he kept decrying the position that the Bajorans gave him, but fully acted on it when it was convenient. A very human thing to do, but not a very heroic thing.

One can give him a pass in "Sacrifice of Angels;" by the time the prophets intervened he was in the middle of performing a suicidal act out of extreme desperation. One might object to Gods helping determine the outcome of a war, but it's just a blip compared to the pagh-wraith possessed Dukat. However, watching Dukat transform from euphoria to anguish and then go totally bonkers at the end of that ep is one of my favotite scenes in DS9.

Dukat was one of the greatest characters of all time. I put him up there with G'kar from B5.

SoA isn't the problem - Sisko's attitude in "Rapture", "The Reckoning", "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols", "'Til Death Do Us Part" and "What You Leave Behind" is the problem. In every one of those episodes he acted as if the Prophets' were infallible, and their every wish should be adhered to to the letter.

I iknow about all of that - I was noting the exception, not disregarding the rule. Plus, it's worth pointing out that Dukat's meltdown is really fun to watch.
