the office of a president cannot serve to change the world view of a country, especially not if after 8 years another one with different ideas leads the country.

if you apply for the position of chairman of a weapons factory then you have to live with the fact that it is a weapons factory and cannot convert it into a gingerbread factory.

the most important thing that a country in this world needs is RELIABILITY and INCASIBILITY. even if this sometimes goes against your own overdraft, such a change can only be a lengthy process and not a rash action that will not last.
