There are two fundamental holes in our form of government that need to be plugged. The first is that the country has absolutely no protection against electing a lunatic to the presidency. Whomever the Sheeple toss into office is given control of the nuclear arsenal, the military, and foreign policy for four years. The Congress runs away scared of being called disloyal if they don't support him, and he may piss off and bully every other country in the world for any deranged reason, use military force on any whim, and faces impeachment only if he is caught in his workplace with an barely legal intern hoovering his zipper area. The second is that we have absolutely no protection against some area of government developing a critical mass of people having divided loyalties to some foreign power or ideology. The current combination of George W. Bush, the messianic nutjob who claims his favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ, and the critical mass of "Likudniks" who drive US Middle East policy, and have convinced Mad George that he is fighting on the side of God to save Judeo-Christian civilization itself, are what is driving this idiotic American crusade to steal the world's oil reserves, impose Pax Americana on the world, and create a Greater Israel. George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon, the Mental Patient and the War Criminal, driving American policy into the 21st Century. And while thermonuclear incineration of Washington DC and Tel Aviv is probably overkill in terms of correcting the problem, it would be nice to have some Constitutional mechanism for dealing with presidential insanity, and an administration topheavy with people who put the welfare of an overfunded offshore US military base mascarading as a nation ahead of what is best for the American people and the rest of the world. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
