Do you think there are kings, leaders,..etc who truly care about their country and their people.?

Yes, there are and, historically, there have been.  Ghandi is a good example as is Nelson Mandela.  While they weren't kings, they were important leaders.  Farther back, one can find monarchs who appear to have cared.  Sadly, we cannot really gauge that caring by our standards of behavior as time change.\n\nRight now, I would be hard pressed to find any leader who cares as much as they claim to.  Three examples of men who came into power on a foundation of caring about their country and people are obvious.  Hitler said he would free Germany of financial oppression and look what happened when he, instead, implemented his own plan of power.   Castro was able to gain power based on a promise of freeing Cuba of the influence of Batista and US corporations and politics.  He has since isolated Cuba in a way many find undesirable.  The third example is currently open to debate.  GW Bush claims to care about his country and people and, while we can say he is protecting the USA (ostensibly), he has eroded the individual freedoms which many claim a truly loyal-to-his-constituency would never do.

Yes.  He was very elegant and brought a sense of royalty to the White House.  He did amazing things to help bring world peace.  Not because he forced anyone, but because he was honest and upright and dealt with people as people and nations as groups of people.

From where I stand I think the Government doesnt care  a crap that our people are getting killed and why not let these countries fight thier own wars why do we get involved ? As for as the Church I think that if you pay your dues and help maintain the church and there everytime the doors are open then yest they care they wont beable to count on your money to help cover the next crusade if you arent there and take your money else where . As for as my mother I am begining to wonder . I know she cares and all but LOVE I dont think my mother will ever know what true love will be . Standards being placed on someone isnt love ! To show favortisum isnt love to act in a way that makes others feel bad isnt love !

Personally I think they do. They are a group just like the rest.

I for one do not.  The world is a nasty place these days and the opinion i have is that our government is full of people who have no morals and no values.  Pride is the only thing that seems to be shaping this world and the leaders of our country and others.They are only out for themselves and have no idea or choose not to see the needs and wants of its people.  If leaders of country's around the world including this one!!, focused on morals, values and had any humanity and will to do what is actually the RIGHT thing to do this world would become an better place.  There will always be some evil, that cannot be avoided.  I only worry for future generations,  they must reap what we have sewn. A one world government is in my opinion only a possibility in fairy tales and science fiction novels

no the majority there doesn't support him , but the truth is he killed less people in his time than the people killed in this war, and he ruled many years more than this war. and people were safer . not defending this war criminal just saying this war should end.

I don't really consider the Queen or Royal family to be "in power" as it is a purely ceremonial role nowadays.\n\nI really don't have any time for the Royal family as I consider them an irrelevant soap opera although I am happy to just ignore them if they are around.

Trust....it boils down to trust.  Obviously not everyone in a society will and can know as much as the leaders do, and many will know more.\n\nSo, it boils down to trust.  Do you trust those who lead?  Are you confident of them?\n\n Do you have faith that they are looking out for your best interests as well as those of everyone in your Country EQUALLY, and not out just to line the pockets of their own kind without regard to the long term?\n\nLast time I checked, leaders are mortals too, flawed and imbibed with similar character flaws and strength that the rest of us have, so it boils down to trust.

The same way I feel about the WHOLE WORLD. The GOOD people of any race, religion, political system etc., better take care of the BAD people of that same race, religion, political system etc.,THEMSELVES, befor someone's  GOOD people of a different race, religion, political system etc., DOES IT FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!   Now ain't that right?

Whatever floats your boat... Personally, whatever someone does, is it any of my business??? Even a moron like Pierre Elliot Trudeau said "The nation had no businees in the bedrooms of the state"  I think people need to worry less about what makes others happy and concentrate on their own lives...

I think he has done a heck of a great job defending us against terrorism. He could work a little harder against immigration, but he has done a lot for humanity. He might not be the most well spoken president but the man has done what he thought was right for us. God says that he puts kings in power and he takes them out of power. So whether it's George Bush or Bill Clinton, they have a purpose to be there.

Yes, how can we be a country of the people if the people don't talk.  I might not agree with others but they should vote to make sure the people's will is being followed.  I like to think I am in the majority, but I do conceed I might not be.

When you are in a position of leadership/power, others will be displeased...for a multitude of reasons-some valid, others not. Leaders didn't become so by listening to popular opinion. They had the courage and the integrity to persevere and do the right thing. The "right thing" is in the eye of the beholder...so it may not always appear as such. Bottom line is that USA is still, the greatest country in the world...not because we think ourselves superior, etc...but because we stand for democracy, freedom and human rights that are sadly only a fantasy for some throughout the world. This country is the greatest because it is comprised of people from every corner of the earth, every religion and race...and somehow, we all have made it work for an impressively long time. Again, it hasn't been without trials...but what others have endured in our country's past, have made our existence today a fairly remarkable one. \n\nSo to all the USA haters out there....quit drinking your Hatorade.

As far as I am concern, there are no great leaders in the world today. We have many that lead but for the wrong reason. Tell me what happened to the world leaders of today? Where are they? Does just wanting to be right at all times, can make you the greatest  world leader? \nThe people leading countries in today's world are just competing with one another, instead of working towards peace in this Earth of ours. And who pays for this, the people that go into the military with opened hearts to defend their country, that is not even protecting them. That is the sad truth.

It depends, whether or not they are safe there. I don't think we should sacrifice our common history just to satisfy one people’s pride or greed.
