What a fantastic reply. A veritable stand alone post!

"there are two types of leaders in the world #1 people that are tyrants, and #2 people that are tyrants in the making"

This observation sounds like something I'd hear from @mattclarke. Even benevolent leaders end up turning into tyrants eventually. Maybe that's why most revered leaders who did good are the ones who died young. If they'd lived long enough they'd have succumbed to human nature eventually.
