There are always men born in every era that long for power over others, even to rule the world. Their lust for power is so great that they are willing to risk their lives. The ultimate goal of these really sick men is that of life and death of others at their merest whim. Even modern history is replete of such men.

In history, there sometimes rises a man into great power and they easily give it up. Our office of the Presidency has seen a few. One, Rutherford B. Hayes said if elected, he would serve one term and go away, that he did. Teddy Roosevelt came into office when McKinley was assassinated, he then ran on his own and won, but refused to run for a third term. Truman did likewise after death of Roosevelt, the man that would have stayed for life had not the grim reaper felt otherwise.
Not quite true. He did run for a third term just not consecutively. He supported Taft to run after him but was disappointed in the Taft presidency so ran against him when Taft ran for a second term. That was the Bullmoose party.

Correct... Had he run for consecutive term he would have won. At the transition from Roosevelt to Taft in 1909, Teddy was deeply concerned ABOUT A COMING WAR WITH JAPAN, ten years before WW1. If you like I have a Teddy letter from 1909, I am sending to some of friends on 4um, about the coming war with Japan. The letter was written to Taft and Knox Sec. of State. I am sending it that they may see a parallel between then and now with China. Cyni...
