"We are energy beings" and our energy comes from a higher being. The explanation of the complex world and the creatures that inhabit it clarified by the mystique of the words in guru Dragan Dabic, ultimately a fiction made flesh that hid the unsuccessful butcher Radovan Karadzic, the legitimate father of the bias of millions of human lives Bosnian Serb war. As if it were a paradoxical metaphor, his case illuminates the inviolability of power, that's what it seems, can not let go when the public that supports it "looks at the finger when the wise man points to the moon": its sacredness.
Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the Sudanese genocide, holds the same theological arguments for the sake of appearances before a people incapable of understanding what happens, harmless to events. When in Al Fasher, before a crowd eager for a leader and free memory, argues: "We do not worship at anyone but to God" seems to infer from the calamity, the mediating character, similar to that which the Vicar of Christ have assumed : the link between the transcendent force (the only one able to make it fair) and the rest of mortals. That seems to be the court they expect some, they cede control to the tyrannical power, the effect infamous life left in the hands of another, to organize the world into creatures, gods and heroes proud.
Something similar happens, few differences, with Uribe champion. A sort of angry Achilles able to forget the corruption and inefficiency giving the people the expected military achievement, establishing with him a patronage of feudal recollections: "I remove your enemy, you, I swear eternal loyalty and I grant it absolute power" . Maybe you need Leonidas Colombia, perhaps the chronic disease of democracy.
democracy may vitiated under the circumstances, that his weakness is the conjunction of human events and the men who administer it, perhaps the lack of public virtue, perhaps simply their inability to violence.
may be true the people becomes irrelevant when the situation is controversial and they prefer a Napoleon or a sense of salvation Messiah who will or punishment, before a Madison reality paint them with oil color. Russell said that when philosophers can not affect the power invent religions Madison said that we will never agree and that this must be the principle of government.
Someone should tell the world and the people waiting that both are right. Make them forget the magic of those unidirectional their lives, uncover any hint theological or transcendent heroic tyrant threatening democracy, and bring them to the maze that is a citizen and live in democracy, noted that it is their only sap.
