But things were never again quite the same. That his love for personal power is so great he will trade anything to achieve it, that nothing is safe, no person, no liberty that stands in his way. Behind the jest, that charm, that easy oratory, is a certain dark strain of cruelty which only surfaces when one of his vital interests is threatened. I do not want to see my country become a police state where a power-hungry man can sacrifice our liberty for his personal gain. Many men are selfish.
Many man are cruel.
Many men love power. The world can tolerate such men as individuals, but our beloved country cannot tolerate such men as leaders. I have said enough. For we live in lawless and dangerous times. But if what I have said can save our 'world' from chaos, then any risk is worth taking.
