As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a consensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom; a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.

The collapse of good conscience and the absence of accountability and public scrutiny have led to crimes against humanity and violations of international law.

I want to sleep for eternity with a broad smile on my face. I want those who remain behind to say this man has done his duty.
