Because he won democratically.

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.

nice question... but anyway there's an addiction to power.. you always hear "power and money"\nThe problem is the people in Africa are too weak or brainwashed.. and mostly too poor to bother with who's the president is or what he's doing and all their concern will be to gain their daily bread and feed their families. \nAnd in some countries when the people do try to change their president, they're met by brutal force!\nBut that's not the case in Africa only, it's the same in Asia as well... and in America it could've been the same but luckily the law states that the president should run for presidency only twice. That's why Bush said that the next president may solve the problems of Iraq.

the populace has gone through a transition of help me, do everythign for me.  The President to get elected has to cater to that.  what we need is someone who will stand up and say tough we are going to fix this country and your wants are just too bad.  I kind of see this in Bush but he has a little to much of the apeasment in him too.  The problem is in the other two branches of govt.  these can be overly swayed by this populace and they are destroying the country.  This is inevitable in a republic which is why republics always go back to dictatorship.  History has shown it in every case.

People Power is a movement that exists in the Philippines. It was instrumental in the ousting of Marcos, a dictator there. Unfortunately, over the years the movement has also been abused by politicos with other agendas.\nPeople's Power I'm not familiar with, but it seems to imply that the people maintain political control through unconventional (read no 2-party systems) means, yet not in a socialist way.

often these leaders are actually dictators who use fear and threat of violence to sustain their power over long periods of time. since the people of these countries are often poor, uneducated, etc. they have little means to fight back.

Because the American government embraces any thug who will co-operate in their quest to control as much of the world and its wealth as they can take from others. Were he to stop co-operating with them, he would be vilified as Hugo Chavez is now, only he would deserve it. The current (and unelected) American government is not remotely interested in Democracy, but hopes there are enough stupid people around to believe what they say and to not notice what they are actually doing.\nListen to "Democracy Now, The War and Peace Report" if you ever get the chance.   <democracynow.org>

Well, he's basically a Marxist, isn't he?  We know where those kinds of policies lead.  We've seen that kind of poverty and oppression many times before.\n\nPerhaps the nation will split into two.  There are too many people in Bolivia who are simply unwilling to go that route.

I think it is partly because the US government has been so bogged down in the mess it has created in Iraq and Afghanistan that it hasn't got the resources to impose its agenda on South America, and people are waking up, too.  As a consequence of American imposed policies through IMF, World Bank, puppet regimes, training secret police and torturers to cut dissent, etc.  millions and millions of people have been exploited, but as the saying goes, you can't fool all the people all the time...so now presidents who are more sensitive to people's agenda instead of catering to US interests and the corporate agenda are being elected.  For example in the case of Chavez in Venezuela, US tried to bring about a coup and get rid of him, but thank God it didn't work...times aren't like they were when the democratically elected president of Chile was killed and replaced by the monster, General Pinochet.  And God willing, this just the beginning...I hope American people will wake up, too, because they are also being betrayed.

It is when a mayor, governer, or President oders the military to act as police officers to disrupt riots, looting, and violence in order to gain control of a situation that has gotten out of control. Sort of like New Orleans after the Hurricanes. But, the miiltary did not have arrest powers. They were there as a watch dog to discourage violence and looting.

The entire world cannot be governed by one person.Even if the masses elect him it would not be a good idea to have the world governed by a single person.

Looks like the unit commander of the elite Rangers was planning a coup of President Arroyo.  According to news report here in the USA, the rumors have been spreading of a coup for the last few weeks.  Arroyo has declared a state of emergency to lockdown all the military forces in the barracks.  It gives me flashback of Marcos declaring martial law before he was overthrown by the people.
