He did this without the usual problems of developing countries and without the support of high minded westerners. He proposed and inflicted severe punishments on drug dealers and drug smugglers, often with the opposition of the world's press.......I've read that many leaders of the developing world now go to Singapore to study how he did it........There's chance that Duterte might end up being nothing but a loud mouthed bully who will bring his country nothing but ruin. But maybe not. Lee Kuan Yew got a terrible press when he was in power, but in the end he prevailed........I observe that Walter Lipmann and Theodore White praised the subtlety of Chou En Lai and criticized the corruption of Chiang Kai Shek. Taiwan under the Nationalists developed into a democracy with a higher standard of living than many Western European countries. Red China became Red China. I'll withhold judgment on Duterte for a bit. He's got a better record on human rights than the drug cartels.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-65551844128712373402016-09-05T18:17:21.101-04:002016-09-05T18:17:21.101-04:00Now you see what they really think of Urkle.

I slept right through it.<br /><br />This guy Duterte must be alright considering that he causes "international alarm" by killing "people" - that's another howler from the BBC - when he goes after the drug trade.<br /><br />And he said this about Barry <i>before</i> a scheduled meeting with The Snake? A wonderful sign of Barry's ever lessening consequence on the "international" stage.ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-8900892593257140322016-09-05T16:13:59.473-04:002016-09-05T16:13:59.473-04:00I'll let time pass the deciding vote on this. ...I'll let time pass the deciding vote on this. One notes that Mexico has done away with the death penalty, and their drug lords are imprisoned only until such time as they can arrange an escape. I believe that the mortality rate among drug dealers is much higher in Mexico than in the Philippines, but such deaths come almost exclusively by the agency of other drug dealers. Check it out in five years and see if Duterte's approach is more effective than the one in Mexico........There's a good possibility that both these approaches are varying types of wrong, but, as of now, Mexico is the bigger failure. They have, though, arranged their failure in such a way that all those dead bodies do not attract the attention of the UN or the sjw's.
