In his book Latin America: Democracy and Integration, Betancourt defended the belief that foreign policy should respect a modicum of ethical standards. He responded to those who called him naive by arguing that dictatorship was a crucial ingredient of underdevelopment, that solidarity is due to the people, not to the authorities, of oppressed nations, and that the democratic conditions established by the OAS in Article 5 of its Charter had to mean something. He went on to denounce the Pontius Pilate attitude of elected governments vis-à-vis their dictatorial counterparts. In words eerily pertinent to the current situation in Latin America, he also chastised demagogic, corrupt and irresponsible presidents whose actions themselves menace democracy. 9 Kunengi esizakufunda ngoJehova emhlabeni omutsha futhi sizakholisa kakhulu ukuphila sesibuswa nguMbuso wakhe. Ngalesosikhathi uJehova uzaqhubeka esibumba njalo esifundisa ngendlela enkulu kakhulu. (Isaya. 11:9) Kanti njalo uzasusa isono kancane kancane ezingqondweni lasezinhliziyweni zethu size sibe ngabantu abapheleleyo. Lokhu kuzasisiza ukuthi senelise ukukuzwisisa konke ayabe esifundisa khona njalo senze intando yakhe ngokugcweleyo. Ngakho kasiqhubekeni simvumela ukuthi asibumbe njalo sitshengise lokuthi siyakuqakathekisa ukuthi uyasithanda.—Zaga.3:11, 12.
