Are you saying Bush, Blair & others are tyrants?

If not why did you post the rumination from Plato?

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
~Thomas Jefferson
