Free president or outpost manager?

23.10.2007

No matter what you say I don’t believe in Soros revolutions. I don’t think that someone no matter how rich he is can manage the desires and goals of the masses of people. Perhaps he can support them by giving away some bread rolls or biscuits but that cannot create revolution if there is no …
