Well, they teach history to justify their actions. You hear a lot

about Machiavelli in collegiate circles, but rarely much about Cyrus

of Persia. Machiavelli's writing is the epitome of the " dog eat dog "

model, while Cyrus (a very interesting person) was the model for a

moral, conscientious leader - he was honest in his dealings even with

the enemy, had mercy to the weak in his power, and did not use his

power for self-serving purposes but for the greater good. Yet he was

hugely successful and was " ruler of the world " during his life, with

even the conquered people very enthusiastic about his rule.
