Furthermore, you have to agree that Ara's immature antics would be considered unpatriotic and borderline offensive if you were to replace Armenian with American. The problem is just this my friend, you have been mentally conditioned by these demagogues into buying their propaganda of self-hate. The reality is that 100% of Ara's stance is offensive to any Armenian, but due to what ever reason, most find it "tolerable", maybe that is what you fail to understand? Again, no one is asking you to "donate money" or "fight wars", but for the love of God, defend some Armenian values, traditions, and history. What is the point of debating the "flaws" of Armenian leaders when history is never experienced but read? Meaning, whoever that controls the pen, controls what we read and therefore, at the core of any historical fact, is historical bias. Really, I could care less if the nationalist were napoleons or pawns, the reality is that today, we have a state, and today, it is in the unwritten laws of statehood to blow up previous leaders as heroes in order to preserve nationalistic feelings.
And one more thing, the fundimental backbone of western political thought stems from Machiavelli and even he admitted that leadership has limits and the limitations are determined by the oppurtunities that a leader my encounter on his path towards "virtu" (virtue). What does that mean? Well, you read it and let me know, maybe I will tell you one of these days, but to be honest, I have had it to my neck with these demagogues, Ara to Stephan to "Jack Kevorkian", you want to play sculptor, please, go do it somewhere else.
