But it doesn't make it better, because you could be wrong and all those
sheeps would follow the wrong leader, just as it's the case with Bush and
his followers. Your argument is biased by the fact you think (or give the
impression that you think) that the good will always win. The truth is that
people will often not take the best decision. If you only need to convince
one of the parties that you are right, it's the same for the "bad guys".
That's what Hitler did. And we all know what he did.
