We have the best system of governance in the world, yet, once we elect a wrong President, we are doomed for 4 years; there is something seriously wrong with this system.To remedy this particular situation the newer democracies in UK, Israel, Australia, India, Canada and South Africa have chosen the safety valve; a no-confidence move.
To remove a belligerent leader, all it takes is 2/3 of the good men and women on the hill to floor the no-confidence move against the leader. This option keeps the unilateralists from becoming bullies and fascists.
The obedient President played into the hands of his neocon buddies, and now he is chasing it again while his bosses may be laughing at this sorry man. If he uses his intelligence and backs of the plans to butcher Iran, they may growl and fix him to go get Iran.
Before that happens, I hope we consider adopting the no-confidence move or go with the impeachment proceedings to ensure our government remains the government of the people.
The reason evil exists in the world is not because of evil men, but because good people don’t do anything about it.
Our loyalty ought to be to our nation and our democratic system, and not the political party during a crises like this. I sincerely hope that the good Republican Representatives and Senators wake up and fix the President now, or the public will dump them in November 2008.
God Bless the USA
