That, in a nutshell, is why I think that what Bush
is trying to do is a bad idea and a dangerous road
to travel.  We should not be in the business of
determining another soveriegn country's government
and leaders.  Nobody should, for pretty much the
same reason why we do not and should not perform
assasinations of leaders we dislike.
