Why?
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

That is a good point.

Or just the general storyline.

First stage:
Person has ZZZ.
Everyone hates Person because of ZZZ.
ZZZ ruins Person's life.
Voiceover lists everything wrong with your life when you have ZZZ.

Second stage:
Person finds miracle treatment for ZZZ.
Person tests miracle treatment.
Voiceover explains what miracle treatment will do for Person.

Third stage:
Person is happy.
ZZZ isn't ruining Person's life anymore.
Person is doing everything that you wish you could do because Person is healthy.
Voiceover explains side effects.
