you abbreviated etc wrong. etc means et cetera or something of that magnitude. But anyway great leaders are persecuted because no one understands them and everyone thinks that his/her way is better than one of the "great leaders" you mentioned.

check out the book Jesus Freaks by D.C. Talk and Voice of the Martyrs or Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand.  Christians are being persecuted all over the world--and I mean serious persecution, like burnings, mamings, death.  But they won't back down.  Their beliefs are so strong they won't back down.\nOne example:\nIn 2002, police and militia burst into Mua Say So’s home and beat and tortured his four married brothers in front of their families. His younger brother, Mua Bua Senh, died after he was beaten twice mercilessly. Seeking justice for his brother’s murder, So tried to petition the government. He photographed his brother lying in the coffin along with a sign that said, “Beaten to death because of following the gospel.” Because of this action, he was later arrested and charged with the murder. During his hearing in April 2003, Mua Say So was sentenced to three years in prison for murdering his brother and for falsely accusing the police. He lost his house, and his wife fled with their children to a safe area. \n\nWhile in prison, he has been forced to break rocks for construction projects. He also has had to plant vegetables. The prisoners are given only two meals a day, consisting of two bowls of rice with vegetables and salt. Families that are able take food to the prisoners to supplement their diet and maintain their health. \n\nMua Say So is not allowed to pray over his food. The police told him if he would deny God, he would be released. He continues to stand firm in his faith, following Jesus.

Jesus said the way  was to follow the narrow road and few will find it.  I guess the attitudes that are received on yahoo and generally in the world from some people are a reflection of this.  Jesus was persecuted and we as his followers should expect some as well\n\nConsider it pure joy if you are being persecuted for the sake of Christ!  The truth will always face opposition.  Stand strong in the Lord and don't be discouraged.

He never bashed anyone.  However he did question hypocritical teachings.  People that are supposed to be spreading the word should be held in higher standard so when they use their power selfishly Jesus found it dissapointing.  Kinda like some of todays religious leaders, they should be held more accountable if they use their power innappropiately.  Unlike what most people do when they categorize and generalize all religious leaders they fail to realize that there are certainly good ones out there.  People always look for the negative aspect of any belief if they disagree with it...they never take an objective view and see the good that some do.  Hypocritical if you ask me.

Some leaders don't care about the opinions of their own people or the worlds. Those people would be more inclined to use said bombs then others. Not being elected don't help either. Of course I am not talking about the U.S. That don't count.

i think the leader is a human who can make mistakes...God will forgive him...it was smart to quit...unlike other leaders who demand to stay in power...

Worship is too strong a word, I don't think they pray to him. But he's a revered figure to many evangelicals. This is why when Bush is criticized, it doesn't sit well with them, and they readily brand the critics as un-American or even as traitors.

One thing is for sure, George Bush thinks that god loves George Bush.  He's been using it as an excuse his entire presidency and it pisses me off.  You want proof lets go with this.  "God wanted me to be president" that's a quote by Bush himself. Hmmmm I really dint think that god would want a person that murders the innocent and tortures people to be president.  How does that commandment go again? Thou Shalt Not Kill.  sounds pretty clear that god doesn't like war to me.

Christains will always be persecuted as will all other religions.  The reason for that being as satan has his hands in too many peoples pockets. Stay strong, and keep the faith!  777

Bush and his fellow neocons are avaricious, power-mad, and short-sighted. They lack the spiritual vision to realize that they are grossly abusing the awesome power they wield. Consumed by self-absorption and a compulsion to continue the morally repugnant policy of Manifest Destiny, they fail to realize that America's ways are not superior to the ways of the rest of the world. Sadly, America's rulers believe they are justified in using invasion, occupation and torture to impose "democracy, capitalism and Christianity" on other nations, just as their predecessors did with Native Americans. Amnesty International has given them a painful reminder of their immoral, illegal acts, and of the limitations of their power.

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.

All leaders are afraid to lose power. That is their weakness. Their strength is that they can command an army and massacre entire races. Don't become a dictator, instead found your own micronation and rule over it.

I think it more indicative of  insecurity, Unfortunately some people feel superior when they are putting down others. Maybe it's a trait they learned during their childhood, or maybe they buy into the "competitive whatever the cost" conditioning that our leaders try to encourage, in the vain hope that the people will never unite for long enough to realize their oppression.\n\nEither way it sucks ;)

Funny, there was this one guy 2,000 years ago who said love everyone, don't judge, and follow the Golden Rule. It's a shame that "leaders" don't listen to him anymore.
