The problem with people who have power is that they start thinking more about what it takes to keep that power than they do about whats right or wrong or just plain a bad idea. Here's a tip for you: if you're ever in a position to be making calls on right and wrong that can impact an entire nation, run your decisions past a six year old. If they look at you in horror and tell you you're getting coal in your stocking for the rest of your life, you should probably reconsider your course of action. Unless you want to be remembered as a monster, in which case, knock yourself out. . Mira Grant
About This Quote

If you have power, you should consider the consequences of your actions before you make them. When President George W. Bush tried to invade Iraq, he had no idea how much devastation his decision would cause. If he had asked for the opinion of his six year old son, history may have been different. This is a lesson that all leaders should learn.
