Thoughts on the book ”World of Warcraft: Cycle of hatred”

This book is one of many set in the world of Warcraft, and tells a story about humans’ and orcs’ hatred against each other. The only thing holding the races from plunging into war is their respective leaders, Lady Jaina Proudmoore, mayor of the human settlement Theramore, and Thrall, Warchief of the Horde. And they respect and trust one another with their life. This is pretty much what our own world could need, strong, witty, independent leaders to hold their people back. In a world where prejudice and hatred rule there can never be peace. This is obviously fiction though, no leader has ever been as respected by everyone as Jaina and Thrall, but still, this is not a totally unrealistic situation. Of course, power corrupts, but in this book, the leaders rely heavily on their second in commands and they both have trusted advicors to lean on.

In Sweden, we have no real need for this kind of leadership, here it works quite well. But in the middle east, and dare I say it, the US, it would be cool to see a righteous leader with the balls to tell his or her people when enough is enough. This is ofcourse wishful thinking, but it still makes you wonder, why do people hate each other so much? And why are the righteous people always so oppressed or weak minded that they let themselves be pushed aside?

Please comment with your own thoughts, as I’m tired of writing now 😛

For the Horde!
