There are 3 types of people in the world: moral, immoral, and amoral.

Amoral individuals do not the difference between right and wrong and always do the wrong thing.
Eisenhower was a moral individual and chose to do the right thing.
Nixon was an immoral individual and was forced from office as a result.
George W. Bush is an amoral individual as exemplified by his personal behavior and his activities in the Terror War.
Power corrupts and absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
Power with a purpose is used for noble ends.
