Funny, we had a talk about colin powell and everyone in the office said they
would vote for him. I guess he just doesn't want to get involved in the

I do agree with you somewhat on the power of the presidency, in my opinion
congress and the supreme court have much more power then the executive
branch.
Also, I don't remember anyone saying we are the be-all and end-all of
history. Perhaps you are a little envious of the success of the good ole
usa.
