What are the causes that these many dictators arise over and over again with each generation?
It looks like a combination of greed for money, a brutal craving to boss others around and a meanness that is unsurpassed and incomprehensible.
These dictators have absolutely no respect for the lives of others.

That cannot be all there is to it. Continue reading WHY DO DICTATORS ARISE OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
