A leader of one country, who is a president, serves his country without regard to self-interest. The president must serve his country alone, and not work for his personal profit.

Many people believe that Mr. Bush started the Iraq war solely for the economic interest of the Bush’s family & their colleagues. Bush’s family members work tightly with military suppliers and the oil industries. For example, Mr. Bush was a Texas oil man. And Mr. Cheney has a long record of looking out for his own economic interests, too. Although Mr. Bush claimed that the Iraq war was solely for promote peace, Mr. Greenspan, the former charimen of ... ,  said that the Iraq war was for securing of oil supplies. Mr. Bush has said the Iraq war will secure world peace? Maybe in Mr. Bush’s mental universe he actually believes what he said, but other people think otherwise.

Mr. Lee, who is the president of S.Korea, wants to carry out many public work programs, including a huge waterway project from the North to the South. The problem is - Is this project for all Koreans, or self-interest? It is a reasonable question, because he is a former CEO of a construction company that might benefit from this project. Since the project will go through properties owned by his colleagues and family, who will benefit from it?

Mr. Obama has recently appointed many former members from Mr. Clinton’s cabinet. They have to try to solve a very bad world economic crisis. However, many of them promoted policies that laid the foundation for the present crisis. Now they are to be a part of the solution? Can people who help create the mess be expected to clean it up?

GM Daewoo, which was acquired by GM during the Asian economic crisis of late 1990s, closed some of its factories temporarily for about one month. This is an example of how the economic mess in the U.S influences in the rest of the world.

We need a leader who serves for general interest for his country, not for personal or family profits. Is this an impossible hope? The History teaches us that until we get leaders who serve for the general good, we will not get over this economic crisis.

Let's get selfless leaders.
