If A Nation Goes to the Dogs, it is Because of the Politicians

“The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.”
– William Westmoreland

Soldiers in Action

I wish you can read that quote by William Westmoreland again and again. Try to see what he is saying that it is the politicians who start wars, but not the military. And when these wars are started, they are not fought by the politicians, they are fought by the military and the citizens end up suffering the heaviest casualties. Those who have been through wars know the pain and horrors of it. The ordinary man will not gain from war; it is only those who start wars who benefit. Some of them do not care what happens to innocent people and are ready to shed blood in order to gain. What they do not know is that they will have to pay for their actions one day.

What happens in any nation directly depends on the kind of leaders that particular nation has. If there are bad politicians like in most of Africa, then that nation is always dogged by all sorts of calamities. If a nation goes to the dogs, it is because of the politicians who have failed in their duty. Look around where you are and you will definitely see some countries that are heading the bad way. This is because most of their leaders have failed in their duties and most have been overcome by greed.

Why is it that we are no longer fearing God and keeping his commandments? As we derail from the just way, let us remember we will one day be judged by what we have done.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14King James Version (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

If you are a leader in any capacity, you have a great responsibility placed on your shoulders. You have to make sure your people are moving forward and making progress, but not heading to retrogression. Wake up to your call of duty and work towards the betterment of the rest of the humanity. If you can not be able to help them, call it quits and let other able leaders take over.

Bad Politics Will Destroy Nations

“Money and corruption are ruining the land, crooked politicians betray the working man, pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep, and we're tired of hearing promises that we know they'll never keep.”

– Ray Davies

Of late there has been an emergence of bad politics in many countries. Instead of people having constructive politics, they are inhibiting retrogressive politics. This is mostly because of greed that is deeply rooted in the politicians who are leading these nations. Most of those who are joining politics are doing so with ill intentions. They are self-seekers who will forsake those who elect them to power.

These bad politics have ruined and will continue ruining many countries if something is not done soon. Divisions have been created by these politicians along tribal lines, social class, ethnicity, nations among others. Divide and rule has become their motto. These evil politicians have got no interest of the state of the nation and its inhabitants. Something needs to be done soon.

The only best way is for the electorate to wake up from their slumber. It is time to elect leaders and do away with the politicians. The bad politicians ought to be hunted and taken to jail where they belong. It is their time to pay dearly for all the wrongs they have done. As an ordinary person, think twice before you start listening and doing what that inciting politician is telling you to do. Your friend is that person you suffer together with, the one you go to when in trouble.

Let us support those people with good leadership skills. Let us get rid of the bad politicians from power before they get rid of us.
