Anyways, some key points to his book.

-People will always hate the prince(leader), and elect a new one, whom they will learn to hate.(Bush, and the next president.)

-When you displace a goverment, make sure those irked are crushed to the point where revenge isn't a worry.(We let the Bath party continue after occupation)

-DO NOT KEEP GARRISONS IN OCCUPIED LANDS. KEEP ENOUGH TO DEFEND A COLONY IN THE TERRITORY. (HONESTLY, GREAT IDEA)

There's much more in his book, look into it, again, this text is ancient, proving history does repeat itself, and we are screwing up just like the French.

so this book was out 600 years ago- no one read it then- and I doubt they will now. Even the most honest priest will be corrupt. Its the way the cookie crumbles...

What do you mean no one read it then or now?

It's a fairly famous book.

Which is precisely why Machiavelli is such a prominent historical figure whose primary work (The Prince) is studies in classrooms around the world even today, both as a piece of literature and for its historical significance.

Yes, people read it then, and yes, people read it now.
