Answer:

This quote was written by Han Fei Tzu on his book "The Legalists"

It refers to totalitarian systems in which a ruler makes use of take advantage of the majority (the poor and the uneducated) and oppress a minority (his opposition) He is not recognized for his virtues as a rightful ruler, but because of the strength of his actions.

Han Fei Tzu was a chinese philosopher and was considered the greatest representative of Chinese Legalism. His writings were very influential on the future first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang.

This quote belongs to the belief system of Chinese Legalism but can be very well applied to the Communists beliefs of recent times.

I don't agree with this quote at all, it is absurd that still exists people that believe that this can be a efficient method to rule over people

Discuss the similarities and differences between George W. Bush and Al Gore
Arte-miy333 [17]

So, Bush believed that all military missions should be based on U.S. strategic interests and should have clear objectives and exit strategies. He does not want to over commit the armed forces and would like to see allies shoulder more responsibility in terms of regional conflicts. Bush believes that U.S. regional priorities consist of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Far East, and he strongly supports maintaining U.S. presence in NATO. He feels that the U.S. should be prepared for military intervention if necessary, but that a strong military will act as a deterrent to security threats.

Gore assailed Bush's proposal to withdraw U.S. forces from the Balkans saying it would be "a damaging blow to NATO" and would jeopardize other U.S. alliances. He has defined six criteria for deciding whether to deploy the military: (1) Is the mission in U.S. national interests? (2) Is military force the only way to solve the conflict? (3) Have all other options been exhausted? (4) Will force solve the problem? (5) Do we have the support of allies? (6) Is the cost of the operation proportionate to the objective? Gore's policy of "forward engagement" calls for early diplomatic intervention to prevent the need for future military deployment.
