what Fidel did, that Saddam and Musharraf failed to do?

Saddam a leader captured power in Iraq couple of decades ago had much better resources than Fidel's Cuba or Pakistan's Musharraf had extreme control over the administration but miserably failed to deliver. Though he had liquid gold every inch underneath Iraq, he failed to use any of those resources for nation building. He acted like a true dictator as others did but he had enormous opportunities and wealth than his counterparts during his days. Fidel Castro for example had "sugarcane", a little powerful resource and little Oil with him but he did a lot of good both to improve the life's of Cuban's and his fight against America. Maybe had he not pursued his American opposition so vigourously he would have grown a lot but ultimately he would have been an "American Puppet". All Saddam could do is ruin his country for his unrealistic wishes like conquering Iran and Kuwait. He had been a true military dictator with little less thought about the welfare of country which can be achieved only by uplifting life of his people. He had a team that was much cruel and cunning with no vision and unfortunately his son's were also more like their father and uncle's. This is because they were born and brought as a dictator's son's and had enormous personal wealth and power and very poor education. They all joined hands and worked hard to poison, ruin and bring down their country to nothing less than a heap of garbage. Later America carried over the legacy of Saddam though in a different way and in the name of bringing peace to that nation. Though people of Iraq were facing famine and poor living condition under Saddam they were atleast not bombed and killed everyday.

Next comes our favo Musharraf, a military dictator again who does everything from batting with cricketer's, cinematic stunts with Bollywood stars and his infamous handshakes with Indian leaders to show himself as a peace loving dictator. But what is happening in Pakistan is different, am not talking about their Indian rivalry coz neither Musharraf nor any Pakistani leader can leave that aside and be a leader in Pakistan. I am talking about the weakened and weakaning Pakistani economy, living conditions and growing terrosrist activities within Pakistan. Musharaf today has proved that he is a flop show in everything right from improving economy to his political, judicial, religious power. one can easily understand Musharraf is clinging to his seat just because there is a group of military/isi mafia's that want him to be in power. He would have the least importance not only in the history of Pakistan but also as a dictator coz others stood out atleast in their cruelty and bad deeds.

My next person is not a dictator but a democratic leader, I am not trying to compare the dictator's with a democratically elected leader. I am talking about Mahathir who was liked and worshipped by millions. But I am trying to put forward what they had as an opportunity in front of them to change the lives of millions and how they used it. I have always been thinking of starting and running an organisation not only to improve my life and finances but to change life's of atleast few families through whatever I am doing. Mahathir did the same when he was elected Prime Minister of Malaysia in 1981. He revolutionized Malaysia during his administartion between 1981 to 2003. Today not only he is regarded as one of the most influential leaders of Asia but Malaysia is considered to be one of the very important and influential states in the Asian sub continent where giants like India and China compete. He ulifted his countries economy, education, science, technology and almost every field and touched life's of every Malaysian and brought a positive change in them. A leader who is regarded as a father of their nation and enjoys living in the hearts of millions in his country and his admirers like me post his premiership.

It makes be believe that dictatorship can never succeed and it should be uprooted but not in the American/Bush way.

Sathya Sai Baba - Not a god but not a normal human......

Divinity is not in the way we are born but with the way we live....................I have always been critical about a man/woman being worshipped/portrayed as god. Though, I admire few men like Jaggi Vasudev, Sri Sri Ravishankar and Sathya Sai Baba recently joined the list. My admiration for the first two is for the art they teach and philanthropy of the later. In the recent years, I have been monitoring the activities done by Sathya Sai Baba and his organisation closely. Every project is a milestone and touch lifes of millions not only touches it gives life for millions. I saw an ad which says that Sai hospitals have completed 20000 heart operations. Last year (2007) they have done 720 and some 135 surgeries so far in 2008 and their target is 900 surgeries all this is FREE OF COST. We live in a country where we cannot call it medical service anymore and its become a business. It has improved for sure by all means including the cost of medication so for the poor and needy good medical aid has become almost impossible. But there is this organisation (Sai Hospitals run by Sathya Sai Trust) that gives best medical care absolutely free of cost. Its not only the hospitals and medical care, He has helped in irrigation projects in a country where agriculture is a major profession and water is scarce. All this did not make me think Sathya Sai Baba is GOD and I do not worship him still. I do not think he is born divine but his good deeds turned him divine. I heard some saying doctors are messengers of god coz they save life and a person who has given/saved life of 20000 ailing men/women/children is certainly above a normal human being.
