Machieavelli is right - you do need to be a good liar to be a leader. I'm not sure that as a nation we should be told the truth all the while. Some things are best kept from us, especially in regard to national security. I have always found the exaple of lying over reasons for war in Iraq interesting. Admittedly we were lied to about there being hidden weapons of mass destruction, but the war had a positive outcome with the ending of Saddam's regime and the insitgating of democracy in the country (the troubles and fighting since have not ben good however). With this in mind was it so bad to lie about the reasons for the war?
