The United States government should live by Nelson Mandela's principles of peace, dignity and prosperity for all its citizen and of the world. Some of these principles are: 1) A critical, independent and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free from state interference. You must have the financial capacity to deal with the blandishments of governments. You must have sufficient independence from vested interests to be bold and ask without fear or any preferential treatment. It must enjoy the protection of the Constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens.2) True leaders must be willing to sacrifice all for the prosperity of its people. 3) If you want to make peace with your enemy, you must work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
