It was right in Iraq to organise elections rather than impose a strongman. 在伊拉克组织大选而不是强加一个政治强人也是没错的。
But then there is the harsher side of Mr Meles, the Marxist fighter turned political strongman with a dismal human-rights record who is intolerant of dissent. 梅莱斯另一副面孔冷酷得多,这位由马克思主义战士转变成的政治强人,无法容忍不同政见,人权记录极差。
