Many great thinkers have written about power and fear, and more adroitly, about the power of fear. There's Michel Foucault, who asserts the power of surveillance (or, at least, the power of the threat of surveillance). Then there's Machiavelli's sobering advice to Lorenzo de' Medici, about using fear to maintain stability. Even Gandhi reflected on the power of fear, opining that the "power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment."
No offense to the Mahatma, but he'd have made a terrible President of the United States

Mahatma is also responsible for the deaths of about 1 Million people. He was no great leader at all.

No offense to the Mahatma, but he'd have made a terrible President of the United States ... and we're becoming experts on just how bad a POTUS can be!
I've worked with several Indians and none of them had anything good to say about Gandhi.

Gandhi succeeded because he had a polite and civilized opponent in Britain.
Imagine Gandhi in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's USSR or Mao's China. He would have been eliminated before the world knew he existed.

He scares the hell out of me as well. But I can see why foreign leaders think he is a joke.

I believe his ‘kick ass’ comment on the Today show was contrived .... compliant weenie Matt Lauer set it up with his question, and it all came down just the way they rehearsed it.
