How to LEAD when others think they know it all . . .

It must be extraordinarily difficult to be President of the United States. Back in March 2003 when President George W. Bush sent our Nation on the warpath (ill-advised as Pope John Paul II stated at the time), his approval ratings were at an all-time high.

War does gets one's adrenaline pumping.

Well, now here we are four years later, still at war in Iraq, and the People of the United States no longer desire war.

Fickle people we Americans are. One moment we desire war and listen to the anti-Sadaam Hussein propaganda, but now in 2007 even President George W. Bush himself made a passing allusion to Iraq being similar to Vietnam.

So how is one to lead a Democracy?

After all, even the first world democracy, the democratic state of Athens, after it was founded eventually ostracized and even exiled the Nobleman Cleisthenes who helped to found Athenian democracy!

Well, rather than fickle democratic regimes (something that Plato even critiqued in The Republic), the truest form of government should be a Divine Right Monarchy, especially as this form of Christian Government is a direct instantiation of the Kingship of Jesus Christ.

But, since we live in a Republic that is pluralistic, supporting everything from Buddhism to Islam to Mormonism to Classic Christianity, Divine Right Monarchies would not be well-received right now. So, I guess the U.S. Constitution will have to do for now, at least prior to Jesus' Return to earth.

Thus, since we are no longer a Christian society, nothing really holds us together. We have no common morality. We have no common concept of law even. All we have are shards of a by-gone era. With these shards, the ghosts of our Christian past, we will now have to re-build. Whereas places like Mexico and Korea will remain Christian, we will be continually arguing with each other, suing each other, dragging each other into divorce court, and essentially destroying ourselves until Jesus comes again.

So, if you want a different choice, try Jesus out for a while.
