back in 8th grade, mrs harrison pointed out that the founding fathers gave the power to declare war to the senate, and the power to support the army to the house of reps. unitary presidential power over foreign affairs? why was there no universal laughter from every citizen? have things changed, while i wasn't watching?
they have somewhat- politicians no longer pretend to morality, and voters no longer care. the existence of the bush regime is a precise measure of the character of the american people.
you do get the government you deserve, and you're going to get a lot more of it, for a debased electorate and a corrupt political ethos can only result in more 'bush regimes'.
i would rejoice, you richly deserve what's coming, were it not that your discomfort commonly results in bombs falling on wedding parties all around the world. what a blot on the planet you have become!
