Country President Development

More From Condoleezza Rice

An opposition is necessary and desirable for the healthy development of any country. you can scarcely find anyone in opposition, except for the communists, just like in yeltsin's times. it is regrettable that there is still no constructive, clear and large-scale opposition in russia. the growth and development of an opposition, as well as the maturing of other democratic institutions, will take more time and experience.

Like the 'little emperors' of one-child china, too many boomers were taught early that the world was made (or saved) for their comfort and enjoyment. they behaved accordingly, with a self-indulgence that was wholly rational, given their situation.
