Virtues of power

The late President of Macedonia BorisTrajkovski only held public office of any kind for barely four years and was unknown outside of Macedonia beforehand; and yet within this brief period he averted a civil war within, secured the external borders of Macedonia, and achieved so much else, such as reconciling the people groups within the country while at the same time creating a new positive image of Macedonia on the world stage, that he will remain an example of a leader for many, many years to come.
