Chapter 4: War and Peace in The Middle East (10)

 

096 Populism brings up dictatorship (4/4)

 Every country has a democratic constitution and clearly stipulates the tenure of president and ban on life-time re-election. However, dictator and his inner circle deliberately raise the popularity and change the constitution easily. As a result, dictator becomes the lifetime ruler. Then the dictator would become a monster. It was too late to control him when people noticed the reality.

 

Even though the dictator got a lifetime tenure, human life was not immortal. When the dictator was in nearing death, he would think about the successor. But he could not trust anyone at that time. He would be afraid that he might be assassinated by his inner circle. He might suspect even his brothers and deport them one after another. Only his son was the last candidate as successor. Every dictator spent different life style. But the end of their days was surprisingly similar.

 

Anyhow, while the dictator reigned, the society was peaceful and the people was satisfied moderately. In any history, dictator was a monster created by populism.
