I must admit this, I didn't thought the similarities of DM with our real world...But being sincere, most rulers in history wanted to do something good, maybe with good intentions or in the other hands with the worst of them...
It is all power... Hitler was a good leader for the shattered and depressed Germany in 1920's; Fujimori ,here in my country, was opressive, but saved the economy of our country... Resuming what I intend to say, is that the way to ###### is floored with the good intentions of people... maybe is what I understood of what you wrote here Mr Farshlee...
