Politicians as Evil

Much of the blood that has been spilled in many African countries in recent memory has stemnmed from political violence. A look at Egypt, Libya, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Rwanda, DRC, etc., will substantiate the story. I do not know if politicians are naturally meant to be sinister people but the violence which they have orchestrated against the people of Africa may lead one to consider that sober possibility. There is no length which they will not go to maintain their hold on power. Even in stable democracies like the United States and Britain politicians pull off outstanding machinations to torpedo their opponent. In Africa, where politicians often do not have a record or vision to run on, they often seek or maintain power through violence. One could therefore study the history of violence in contemporary Africa as a demonstration plot of the viciousness of politicians. I would be glad if one could come to a contrary conclusion to disprove my theory. Could someone show me the good which politicians have done to us? If Kenya goes up in flames next week, we will have one more demonstration of the wickedness of politicians who divide their people in the selfish quest for political power. The degree of shamelessness and heartlessness which politicians habor in their chests, St. Augustine was correct to point out, can only be compared to that of gang members. That profession, if it can be so called,  is an unnecessary evil. It stinks to high heaven.
