I think the whole issue of corruption originates from three problems: misaligned incentives, outdated processes and having wrong people in wrong jobs. The only way to solve it is by getting into the election process, win elections with a majority, form a government and change the system from inside.
But most leaders loose the focus on the way, because power corrupts. It is a temptation, the biggest of all. And we are all human. Anna Hazare is also falling in the trap of media, power, even after being a Gandhian. Everyone loves their '15 minutes of fame'.
Its great that he is concerned and protesting. But long term change will be slow, boring and will come as the winds, not as a storm. Does Anna and his team have the stomach for that or as Van Goethe said:
"Reason becomes Nonsense, boons afflictions'
