Instead, Mr Ecclestone endorsed the concept of a government based on tyranny.

“Politicians are too worried about elections,” he said. “We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control that country. It was the same [with the Taleban]. We move into countries and we have no idea of the culture. The Americans probably thought Bosnia was a town in Miami. There are people starving in Africa and we sit back and do nothing but we get involved in things we should leave alone.”

I know what he's saying and alot of it makes sense like the above. I don't agree that we need something based on a tyranny government. One of less govt. intrusion is something I'm for though. To equate anything to Hitler nowadays though is fuckin' utterly stupid. He could have chose from hundreds of leaders throughout history that would have had a much less insensitive connotation to it. So, he fails.

I can agree that what hes saying is not being taken the way he meant it to be taken

however he did a pretty shitty job of explaining his point lol

His point is strong leaders who are able to accomplish things are better than a bunch of guys sitting in an auditorium where nothing is ever accomplished.

To some end he has a point...but it seems to have worked out alright for us lol
