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?

Then you should change the original post, you have mentioned George W Bush..... when you meant to mention the president of the United States of America.... Dick Cheney

a lot of the political skill has been replaced by sheer bullyboy tactics and media damnation, the prince had to yield to the thug
