We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If the political will is there, we can solve anything.
The US and the European Union needs to help in the translation of the demand for democracy into a political will.
We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.
If you think about the actual problems we are facing - all the crises - we have the means to solve these crises. The past has shown us we are able to do things we never imagined we would be able to do.
But despite this breathtaking pace, I believe in the capacity of our democracy to meet these challenges.
I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses.
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.
Personally, I'd like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.
The people ask much, often more than any government can give. We must resist the temptation to promise solutions to all problems.
Here we will solve with laws and dollars, problems that too many people around the world still must solve with violence and civil war.
