>>On the topic of "dictators" there have been a few in world history that did positive things for society. However, typically such individuals were either killed or fled for their lives. Some dictators take power, while others are elected. Sometimes elections will have only one candidate running for the office of Head of State. On occasion a dictator has appointed himself for yet another term in office.

John Ashroft , David Gergen and I share something in common. Our birth day and year. However, I am a democrat surrounded by a sea of republicans. :)
