My thoughts on the opinion of Thomas Hobbes

I would say that I agree with the overall message of Thomas Hobbes.  That when people are not controlled, they cannot peacfully coexist.  But, I disagree with his solution to the "state of nature."  A "leviathan" would only make things worse.  In my opinion I see a leviathan as a dictator.  History will show that dictators have done nothing good for the sake of human beings.  They are rebelled against and in many cases overthrown.  Using Saddam Hussain as an example, the United States answered the plea for help from Kuwait to fight.  In the sense of controlling the people though, I do believe that having people controlled is the best option for any state.  A question I have is, would there be a better solution than a leviathan?
