People elect their leaders in the hope that they are moral souls, but no one is perfect. Inevitably, men are loyal in one of only two ways. They are loyal to their nation, even if that nation is misguided or wrong. Or they are loyal to avarice and greed, interested only in power and wealth. They do what they will to serve one of those masters.” He brought his hands together. “When the time comes to make a moral choice between right and wrong, few can faithfully follow that path to the end. Men will do what is right for them, not what is right.”
