From the corrupt, communal (anti-Muslim) and incompetent USA administration, we are seeing a failure of good goverance and effective leadership the world over. That should not be any consolation for Goa, but one wonders why there isn't one outstanding leader from 200+ countries. We should look closely at our political systems which produce such mediocre individuals who are driven by everything except the public good. These are sorry times for the planet.
