some political leaders have used "The Prince", written by Machiavelli as a guideline on how to be a 'prince'. some interpret that he believes 'the ends justify the means', i wonder if that is how Bush ruled. it couldve possibly worked, but the problem is a U.S. president doesnt rule for his entire life, only one or two four year terms; so they do not get to see the 'end'. what do you think?
