It's better to have one person controlling the nation with good management than many trying to eat the cake! Which means much less corruption better for the economy of the country! Let him be like the King! Democracy is bullshit!

President Nazarbayev WHAT HAPPEN TO THE HARE KRISHNA DEVOTEES THAT WERE THROWN OUT OF THERE HOMES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bbphnix]

it's true.... democracy doesn't work if the demos isn't made out of intelligent, educated, informed people which do more with their lives than just trying to survive from day to day; in almost ll countries that went though economic collapse, dictatorship fallowed;

at least Nazarbayev is more benevolent than most dictatorships throughout history; perhaps he's right that he should hold unto power until Kazakhstan is more developed;

He makes excellent points.. the people who are complaining about a lack of democracy are a bunch of crooks who want to install a US/British puppet like Georgia under sakascvilli and Ushenko in Ukraine.
