On Leadership and Accountability.

In the words of William Shakespeare “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Leadership is not for the fainthearted. If you must wear the crown, you must endeavor to wear it well. Not every fight is worth fighting, but fight you must fight, if need be, to protect the just and secure what is right.

Politically, I am progressive and I support social welfare programs. In a similar vein, I endorse capitalism and private ownership of wealth. To build sustainable wealth in any society, the government must provide a favorable investment climate (infrastructural facilities and security) for the entrepreneurs and the geniuses to thrive in what they do best: innovations, spending, and investment.

Foreign investors deserve protection from the host government. However, I strongly hold that no nation should sacrifice its sovereign rights or abdicate its lawmaking power via stabilization clauses in order to accommodate foreign investors or their investments.

I espouse transparency, accountability, and religious freedom. Rule of law and the independence of the judiciary are non-negotiable; otherwise, mobs will run amok and only the fittest will survive.

Education is the best investment gift to a child. Government involvement is sacrosanct. The extent and robustness of a nation's domestic policy and military-defense industrial complex are defined by the extent, robustness, and sophistication of its educational institutions.
