Answer 1

it's all about who has the money.

Answer 2

Yes it is time to bring them down!
But the only way you will acheive that is through education, there are many people out there that would make great leaders and are not at the same time emotionally imature, self centred or corrupt. People need to be taught at a very young age how to deal with media manipulation, deceipt, brainwashing and insecurity. People should be taught how to be good people and how to lead a rewarding life. There is no correlation between power, money and happiness, from that follows that a cognitive defect in the way these people think is at the root of the problem. Blair went to war to please the americans, get economical favours and try and influence the matter in a positive way. He was a fool and that's obvious now, he might think that he is justified in doing this because economically he helped his country, but if he were brilliant he would have found a different way of going about it, similarly if Bush and America were that brilliant they would have found a different way of dealing with their energy crisis (the US's addiction to oil....) instead of invading and stealing the energy resources (Iraq). We, the common people, are not equipped to think deeply enough about what we expect from our leaders and are also too busy and overwhelmed by their actions, the more they do the less time and effort we can muster at any one time to object.
If people were educated they would not accept what is going on, they have not though been taught how to defend themselves and so they become biggots, ignorant and stupid.
If we followed the laws of logic you would see that behind these leaders is only evilness, emotional imaturity, lack of spirituality and definitley no beleif in god, but we are not taught how to reason, object and enquire, we are taught how to be economically productive, how to get a job, how to become wealthy...we are taught very little..and end up wrking like donkeys for very little in terms of everything, especially quality time with family and friends or intellectual pursuit.
In essence to solve the problem a change in mainstream thought processing needs to come about, we need a new awareness and we need to break the cycle of legalised manipulation and deception that is so evident in the united states of america and some countries in Europe, the system must change but at the moment it is the big corporates that rule in the states not politicians as such. If you are corrupt you will lie, if you are not you wont, which means the lier will promise the earth whilst knowing he wont deliver, the honest person will not lie and will promise less, the ignorant want more so they fall for the lies. FurtherGoverments that fail, cause situations were mass deaths occur like Iraq should be held accountable, we have no means at the moment for doing this.
America has many enemies through their own faul and their response is to black mail the world with such barbaric displays as illegal wars, failing to respect the UN, international law and human rights, it is a threat to the world..telling the world that actually they have no restraints whatsoever and that their people's collective consciense poses no threat..which it doesnt..coz so many of you are more worried about were ure next cheese burger is coming from rather that could I be doing more as a person in this life. Not ure fault, its the lack of education, spiritual and human awareness, a cognitive problem.

Answer 3

The most peaceful people don't make good leaders. A leader has to be able to 'put their foot down' in difficult situations - if your country was run by a complete pacifist then it would soon be over-run by a country that has a tyranical dictator or by members of the countries own society who think they could do better.

Bush is only dangerous becuase he wants to 'press the button' and give himself a legacy. Fortunately there are enough people between him and the button that he hasn't managed it yet - but he's still got about 18 months left.

Answer 4

Dangerous people become powerful because they're dangerous and aggressive. Peaceful people don't. There's a lot of competition for powerful positions like President or Pope; weak or nice people don't get those jobs. If you use other people as stepping-stones, you get ahead. If you help others, they get ahead. You may get ahead too but that only works up to a point. When you get to the level of leadership of an entire nation, it is all tooth and claw. Such people naturally negotiate by holding a gun on you.

Answer 5

The reason for this is... Fear! Dangerous people use fear to get control over their victims, thats right I said victims. You forgot to mention that they're also rich and powerful, see if Bush wasn't so wealthy most of his friends wouldn't be his pals! In closing there should be a change in the order of power and leadership around the world but remember this could be very costly to those who are the victims!

Answer 6

It's the potentially dangerous ones who actively seek to be in charge, and get voted into power (or take it by force in some cases) The peaceful one just want to go about their business being peaceful. Remember the saying 'Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'!

Answer 7

I hate to write it but violence has a lot to do with it, we are becoming in constant need of looking after, so we look to the strongest to protect us, unfortunately, they have only done to others, what we do not want done to ourselves and also given us a clue, of what would happen to us if we got in there way. A more spiritual way to living in harmony, does not seem to be worth much to us, otherwise we would be doing something about it. So I feel we are on the side of violence, if that being so, then I to suggest it is time we knocked them from their watchtowers .

Answer 8

I think its because its these people that are not afraid to seize power by any means necessary. As far as I'm aware, they're not democratic countries that these people are in control of. I don't think we should bring them down, because you shouldn't meddle in foreign affairs, unless they pose a threat to our country. I see what you mean though, but we can't just go attacking every country that has a dodgy leader lol.

Answer 9

people are irrational, so if you continue to try to make sense of elections you will be severely disappointed. Both Bush and Ahmadinejad were elected by ignorant, easily manipulated populations. That's life, that's what we've got to deal with.

Answer 10

that's what quite needs to ensue. we would desire to coordinate a international media blackout for each week. next we supply Israel all of our present day and superb weapons, possibly even a nuke or 2. After each and every week is up enable the journalists start up broadcasting to enable the international understand that the middle east is now no longer something yet green glass and that the the remainder of the international can start up dividing up the oil. this could efficiently clean up diverse themes at as quickly as.

Answer 11

Lol, who is going to bring them down? The peacful people won't fight and prefer to be led. It is always people with back bone who become leaders, it takes facing conflict to be in charge and peacful people don't do that too well.
