Monarchy is a doorstep away from despotic rule, and cannot come close to serving justice to its constituents. Monarchy has never worked, and will never work. Ethiopia isn't where it is today because of the rightful rejection of monarchy... it is where its at because of centuries of it. I don't see how you rastas can respect haile selassie despite his history. How do you justify or rationalize his actions? Are all the bad things he did just a figment of the collective ethiopian imagination? Did the "babylon system" spread "lies" about your king? I really don't get you guys.... not only do you want to say God is a man... you want to say God is a dillusional monarch. As the saying goes, "To each his own".
