Sense of state

I think that something that we can learn from Metal Gear Solid 3 is that history must not be judge for what has been told to us because, normally, we see very little of what really happened.

Sometimes governments do what they do because that is what has to be done. Despite it means a sacrifice that will never known and implies being despised, the cause, the mission, the end, is more important. I am against to what Jorge W. Bush has done, but it's clear that he pursues a goal that is far from what he says. Money, or maybe other thing. How many diplomatic conversations and secret agreements there are; sure that a few. But how many of these things are revealed to the public. Seeing a president of a democratic nation acting like that is unusual in the times we live.

A government can't govern to and for the public opinion, or at least it mustn't. It should govern for the interest of the society that it represents. But, in this new world, we are losing it. Only statistics, the points that they go up or down on a survey, are important. Now, what they do and the motivations, are in second place, only matter the things that raise their position or at least don't harm it.
