I heard some wise men talking one day and they said that leadership and being a politician is all about being an actor. If you can convey voice projection, then you can be a good leader! It's about being a public speaker, and practicing your butt off! Join toastmasters. Check out theatre classes. Anything you desire to help you conqeur yourself, most importantly it is about having good values and not wanting the position due to it being a personal ego-boost. It's not going to help if you want to be a politician, to make more money and have some fun with some technology and not really lead anyone anywhere. Politics have been about deceiving the public for a long time, and it still is.

For example, the Roosevelt Corollary ( Roosevelt Corollary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ), and ( Roosevelt Corollary ), was cited as an "extension to the Monroe Doctrine," although in my personal opinion it had very little to do with the Monroe Doctrine. It was then used, to justify US intervention of Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. These wars were arguably used for personal military gain. Later, "In 1930, the Clark Memorandum stated that the U.S. did not have the right to intervene unless there was a threat by European powers, reversing the Roosevelt Corollary. In 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt further renounced interventionism and established his "Good Neighbor policy" of lessened military intervention." The Good Neighbor policy was presented as better to the public (Good Neighbor Policy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but according to the "Enduring Vision, edition three," the government simply used less threatening methods to intervene. For example, they would fund dictatorships in South American countries that were more aligned with their policies in order to change what was wanted.

In the movie, the "Art of War," it presents an interesting argument to how our economy is dependent on war and historically this seems very difficult to argue against.
