I was not a supporter of Great Man theory.<BR/><BR/>The point which I wanted to stress was the vision of a person when he faces an issue or decision.<BR/><BR/>Just read what Gandhiji / Nehur written by themselvels and their ideas and compare with our current leaders. See how narrow they have become in their vision or how short term is their perspective!!! I wanted to stress that point and from that perspective - we lack good leaders in Kerala / India or in international levels in the realm of politics.achAAyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012188814513020875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847698279099235263.post-24588912572782047852008-10-11T03:42:00.000+05:302008-10-11T03:42:00.000+05:30Hello James :-) I don't think the upraoar against ...Hello James :-) <BR/><BR/>I don't think the upraoar against Iraq war from Americans was due to any moral ideology. The Americans were concerned, because their children were sent to war front , their economy suffered. Otherwise American's won't bother about happenings which doen't hurt their financial interests. We had too many instances , they spoiled large volume of wheat just to maintain the prices while lakhs of children were starving in Africa. <BR/><BR/>The second point you raised is lack of good leaders. I don't fully agree with you. Because , history is always written for the winner. So we don't know who are the real greats. <BR/><BR/>The lack of great leaders can be mainly due to compratively easy way of life. Watching the hardships of slave system made Abraham Lincoln a great leader , the sufferings of fellow citizens made Gandhi and Nelson Madela epics.. Now human beings are well treated, the countries continue a good mutual understanding and they extend hands to support each other. But these too are purely bases on the business aspect. <BR/>Do you think India will cut all connections with Pak and declare a war against it .. NO.. We need business between them .. the wars and Terrorist attacks seems to be a trick of Weapon traders .. <BR/><BR/>One important thing that made normal persons life wannable is the dialution of Church's power. If church was strong , then Bush Can't attack Iraq and M.A. Babay would have been removed from his seat. I consider it a as a positive thing ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
