Does Intelligence Matter When Choosing a Leader?

In choosing a leader, intelligence is very important. I believe that a person or group should govern and decide what's right for the people and make any and all decisions. Since humans are evil creatures, a leader has to be smart and strong since they will be determining all that happens. The people aren't smart enough to choose the right things for themselves so they need an intelligent leader to guide them and stand for them. The people will only follow and be obedient to someone they know and believe to be a strong leader. Even if their leader rules by fear they need intelligence to control a whole society of nasty and brutish people. Not only intelligence but many other qualities should be considered when choosing a leader to make sure they lead their selfish and cruel people.
