Idi Amin 在任的九年期间杀了３０万人，后来在政权被掀翻之后流亡沙特阿拉伯。流亡期间曾接受访问说：他认为乌干达人民希望他回去。他可以为乌干达做更多的贡献。
我想知道的是：是权力令人丧失人性，还是没有人性的人特别追逐权利？？？

To Mr. Jiang - did not see your comments until today, sorry about that (guess I should be more careful reading my own blog!)
It took me a couple of reads to (hopefully) grasp what you said. And if I understand you correctly, you seem to be leaning toward 没有人性的人特别追逐权利 in spite of your openning caveats that humanity should not be mixed with politics.
Mind you though, war, politics anything and everything they are all derivatives of human behaviors - maybe that's because we are all from beasts, after all????

To understand human history from a humanity perspective is very different from a political perspective. Although genocide or racial cleansing should absolutely be condemned and prohibited in any circumstances, it is one of the most brutal manifestations of power struggle of each of us - we want to be superior, and we in general hate people who are better than us.
The best way to achieve the state of superiority is usually through war. If you blame Amin or Mao, you should take look at Genghis Khan and Mongols who slaughtered many more people than what Admin, Mao and Hitler had done together.
On the other hand, Machiavelli said: Some people want to rule, and some want to be ruled. Who we really are usually determines the answer for the questions you raised.
