Americans expect social change by replacing leaders

The tragedy of American goverments is not that they keep thinking they can end organizations such as Al Qaida, the Taliban and a Somalian tribe, or change societies such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya by killing or replacing their leaders.

The tragedy of American goverments is that they have the power to do all that and still don’t learn that social systems have their own power and that this power is not changed by the removal of certain leaders.
