[QUOTE]Originally posted by USS Vanguard: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB} [i]Lee Kwan Yew's strong armed tactics could be considered a dictatorship. The laws in Singapore are extremely harsh, but then crime-rate is extremely low. Furthermore, Lee helped raise the average income of the Singaporean from 200 dollars or so to nearly 30,000 dollars.[/i] Oh, yes, of course. The average quality of life went up in the USSR and China after their respective revolutions, too, but that doesn't make up for the tens of millions dead. It's also important HOW the changes were made. {QB][/QUOTE] Gee, last time I checked, Singapore hasn't had millions of its people slaughtered. A couple of sore bottoms, but that's hardly the same thing now is it. My father grew up in Singapore, if Lee was going about killing his people, I doubt he'd be as admired by Singaporeans as he is. So comparing Singapore to USSR or China is hardly a valid choice. [/QB][/QUOTE]
