Killing Bush would solve nothing in USA's current political leadership situation. You would just have that another Dick in the throne. You would have to get rid of Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Rice and quite a plethora of other similarly thinking people - in fact if you start on that road, you'll have to take out everyone whose policy does not appeal to you, and it'll never end.
Well, if you just wipe out Bush in an unspectacular fashion, of course it'd be pointless. If you did it in a fashion that would inspire fear into the rest of the neocon leadership, it might just be enough to stall their plans long enough for them to get voted out of power.
The current leaders of US need to be changed, but the change must come from the people in elections OR as a situation that forces the current leaders to resign.
But it's pretty damn obvious that the system
doesn't work. Given where the US has been heading as of late, it'd be an absolute miracle if someone competent managed to get into power, and even then it'd be nigh-on impossible to overcome the greed and corruption that has seeded itself in the US Government these past years and restore the once-great image of the nation. Thus, the people simply can't wait for "the system" to somehow succeed where it has never succeeded before, and therefore must take matters into their own hands.
Extreme times call for extreme measures, to use an old chestnut.
That said, I'm a little dissapointed that you didn't get the reference.
Yeah, I noticed it was from Galactica. Resurrection Ship Part 2, if i'm not mistaken. Adama choosing not to give Starbuck the order to execute Cain.
I dream of a world where the word "philosophical" is no longer employed willy-nilly to describe anything that sounds platitudinous.
Yeah, I know. I meant to say "rhetorical nonsense", as in expressing my opinion of Herra said, which he expressed with a sci-fi quote, with a sci-fi quote of my own. Alas, I had a memory lapse and cocked up the quote.
