after more than 30 yrs of residency in the US, one of the world most
efficient democracies, in which elections are frequently held to
evaluate leadership performance at all levels of governments, hmong
general vang pao, although he began preaching equality, opportunity,
and hmong national unity since his house arrest, neither grasps the
concept of democracy nor want to change his dictatorial attitude. in
his july 4, 2008, speech, the general asserts that "all organizations
are his" since he is the "father" of the Hmong and thus led them to
come to the US. such catch words are often spoke by communist leaders,
such Kim Il Sung, Mao Zedong, and Castro, implying that they are the
states and the states are them so that they are the rules of society
and thus control all means of production.
according to the law of the situation, the words might be appropriate
in communist states, but they are not appropriate in democracy. since
a leader without policy direction to move his/her people toward growth
and prosperity in a democratic way in a world of democracy, is the
leader still effective? why or why not? if not, in what way will the
people do to choose a new leader?
