I can't fall asleep, so I roam about the Net until I come across a news, Zaid Ibrahim caused a stir by appearing at PKR congress and DAP victory dinner. I have to admit that I take my hat off to him in spite of many peoples threw accusations that he is a traitor of his own race.
I believe that he did nothing wrong. Abraham Lincoln had brought the foes into his fold during his tenure and proved that a consensus reached by a mixture of 'yes and no' men had produced a workable team. Lincoln (belonged to Republican) did so by appointing someone from Democrat to be his second war secretary.
The consensus reached by a different perspective views, which comprised of the 'yes-men' and formidable rivals could produce a variety of choices, so that a leader could put himself in other's shoes to speak on different sides of each issues.
Richard Nixon, the 37th US President had proven the bad record with his attitude to consider an adversary as an enemy when he fired his secretary who did not share the same thoughts with him. Nixon is listed among the lowest rank in the poll of unfavorable viewed president.
Recently Obama had convinced the whole world with his approval of Lincoln's ideology. He is considering his front-runner during the Democrat nomination, Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State and EVEN MC CAIN to help him in the senate.
A team of friends and rivals can do much better than the sycophants and yes-men.
