In quick review of the regimes ruling in our times, you would readily acknowledge, for instance, that Cuba and China did not learn a lesson from their only master and mentor: Russia, who crumbled when they could no more sell their morphine and lies to the people. Take Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Chili, Philippines and others, who experienced coup d'etat under the pretense and pretext that the monarchical rule is hereditary and non-efficient, and a presidential regime will serve better the people. The same rulers or their parties are still ruling, conducting mock elections, while preparing their sons to succeed them. Tribal factions and Military elite dictate successive coup d'etat, under the same pretenses. Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Tibet are so-called theocracies, presumably based on a Holy Book rules, yet the faithful people do not approve of those regimes. South America and Africa are two continents of pregnant political volcanoes. Divergent political situation dictated and still dictate the colors of those cliques.

The adage " Divide and you will surely rule ", is most appropriate to reflect the perfect national and global policies of our rulers, and as long as those ruthless rulers continue to experiment on the political arena their theoretical philosophies, mythological ideologies and self-serving strategies, the people of this world will remain restless.

Charles De Gaulle once said " How do you expect me to please everyone in France when France has over 240 kinds of cheeses and believe in over 200 kinds of mushrooms" , but the fact remains, Mr. De Gaulle, and all the rulers of this world, God gave us the choice and no one should be a ruling despot. If you were chosen by the people, you were chosen to serve the people and their aspirations, and look after their welfare and protect their civil liberties and well being.

All through the years, great kingdoms came, tried for a while to invent the wheel anew with some modifications, succeeded for a season, but ultimately tumbled when the same wheel functioned poorly as soon as the rubber hit the road. Everybody, to this day, claim to have found the perfect rule, but it remains yet to be seen where the government would be from the People, for the all the people, accountable for the people, nevertheless, once on the chair, it becomes an echoless song.
