So many of the smaller countries of the world seem to fall victim to ego-maniacs who have somehow taken over the politics and economics of an entire nation by wielding the sword... and placing all of its citizens into horribly degrading poverty... all for the purpose of what? Wouldn't it be easier to help direct the politics and therefore the economics and therefore the good fortunes of a nation by offering democracy and freedom to its citizens who want to leave the 18th century behind? Any true leader of people would want to leave behind a legacy to be proud of... not uncountable headstones. So very sad... a major flaw in humanity is the inability to admit wrongdoing and make every attempt to correct the wrongs and eventually find that at the end of one's life he (or she) made a positive and worthy difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
