Like all trolls, he is trying to change the subject. The little troll is just sad that Rumsfeld is finally barating China and North Korea.
Who's changing the subject?
I said in my post that Rumsfeld should not be in Singapore and lecture countries about democracy when Singapore itself is not democratic.
Then, you write back saying I was a baffoon because Singapore is democratic -- and i just proved to you that it is not and you have ATE UP ON THE PROPAGANDA by the Singapore government :) In other words, your posts proved that you are a bunch of baffoons.
Dont' change the subject yourself. You have just lost the argument. I have shown to you at least one example of a country without democracy which still thrives economically.
If Rumsfeld would have said that corruptions would slow down the economic growth, i'd agree with him. But he's not saying that. He's pointing out China's lack of democracy while ignoring others lack of democracy but successful economically. Singapore is successful economically because corruption is minimal (and they did this by paying their official high wages so that they would be less inclined to accept bribes) and they have strong rule of law.
