Why Our Leaders' Fail Us and Rome Is Falling

George Washington's view on Foreign Policy:

"Steering clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign

world" and advocating trade with all nations." He strictly warns against

"permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." You think
our finding Father was onto something? Go ahead and give him a thumbs down if you "know better".

When asked if the WikiLeaks of 2010 would damage American relations with other countries, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates noted that "governments deal with the United States because it's in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets."

"I have known doctors, lawyers, Generals', police detectives,
politicians, and others with the most esteemed jobs'; those who are
required to be responsible for other peoples' lives. What many of them
have in common is they didn't become what they are because they
truly care about people but because they wanted to prove something to
themselves and gain a sense of self accomplishment. You'd be afraid how
many of them only think about themselves, and since they are at the top

they make incompetent decisions. They have a very simplistic mindset much of the time. They're   counterproductive. They fail to recognize that once they've gained the position they so sought

after they shouldn't be allowed to fail in such an extreme and selfish way. They should be held accountable. Many of them are failures regardless of their PHDs' or their rank! Upon reaching their esteemed position if they fail humanity once they get there then they have failed entirely and they're too blind to see this. We're in the mess we're in not because of some grand conspiracy but simply

because of people having the wrong mindset and being self centered and incompetent, just like many senators and emperors' in Rome had been at

times. Everyone kisses these "esteemed" peoples' asses and these people

have few if any valuable advisors to help them make wise decisions.

Their advisors just tell them what they want to hear instead of what

they need to hear... As long as "they"; the so called elite and their

family is well off, they don't really care too much about everyone else;

so they should not even be in the job they have taken on. The people we

think know better, they don't. The people suffer because of this...

There are so many pretenders and not enough courageous leaders. "
