GJ Editor's comment
Leaders, leaders, leaders...
24 October, 2013
I have said this many times, and I am saying it again... Georgia is a classic example of a country whose most valuable production is a leader as such. It is the most popular commodity we have ever created industrially. We produce leaders. That’s what we do! We are the most prolific nursery of leaders in the entire human world. All of us are leaders – the entire nation!

This is the president Georgia really needs
24 October, 2013
To leave aside the current candidates and what people think of them, here are some thoughts on the ideal next president. The system is new. In the past, under the constitution passed illegally and in three days on 6 February 2004, the president was the supreme executive power in Georgia and had significant power even over the parliament and judiciary. Informally, the president had power over what and whoever he wanted. And power was wielded informally among deputies who would be rotated around positions, but their power had largely to do with their inner circle relationship with the president.
