Well, I was trying to establish that since the beginning...
He's intelligent? yeah... but he's more 'poetic' than realistic...
He can resolve problems? I really hope so!, but not all and he will have disastrous blunders...
He's a good person? YES! In fact too good to hold that position...
there's a book written by Machiavelli called 'The Prince'
Quote:
The theories expressed in The Prince describe methods that an aspiring prince can use to acquire the throne, or an existing prince can use to maintain his reign. According to Machiavelli, the greatest moral good is a virtuous and stable state, and actions to protect the country are therefore justified even if they are cruel. Machiavelli strongly suggests, however, that the prince must not be hated. He states, "...a wise prince should establish himself on that which is his own control and not in that of others; he must endeavor to avoid hatred, as is noted." He also says "it is best to be both feared and loved; however, if one cannot be both it is better to be feared than loved."
