The state is being plundered in the name of democracy. They tell me that nothing is wrong with democracy but the people and politicians have failed it. I say where ever the fault lies, that should be done away with. let,s do away with our people in order to keep democracy alive or do away with democracy, bring a tyrant to put the fear of God into the hearts of the people and their leaders. How long can this country afford the corrupt rulers. for God,s sack the existence of the country has come into question. watch the TV talk shows or statements of the politicians, on both sides of the divide, they are filled with " ifs " and "buts" when it comes to the fate of the country.
