Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.

When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.

Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

This is all about breaking the tyranny of distance.

We do not cower, we are coming after you -- whether you are a nation bent on tyranny, a terrorist group or cell, as the president said, 'We will prevail.'
