i think dany is learning that she CANNOT do that. isn't that the point of her povs in ADWD?
as for stannis, i think you're right: he is his own worst enemy. and that's saying something since i fear melisandre will be a pretty big enemy as well! as i mentioned in my first post here, i just finished reading him. and they are in a difficult situation and stannis just doesn't address it. as if ignoring it will make it go away. i can only imagine what is going through the minds of his men.
i think his biggest problem is his lack of people skills. which makes me think that if it looks like he is even remotely close to getting the iron throne, he will be removed. don't forget, all the players are not warriors. lots of deaths in kingslanding occur without a blade.
