I believe that the president is really Darth Occupationalist and that he has a sith apprentice in Darth BlairLabourist and between then they will bring about the fall of the eu and the UN and become the dominant force in the earth universe.

If one person has the power to institute the changes you mention, and in doing so create a dictatorship, then surely moves should be made to remove that level of power, and to make sure that more than one person has a chance to vote on whether those changes would be wise. That's why the US has a Senate and Congress; and that's why those functions of governement should have the say on how the country is governed, rather than one person who may possibly be "not the brightest". The reason I mention Bush above, is because he has been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives in Iraq; has goaded the Muslim right wing into action, and then continued to give them ample propoganda; and is the most unpopular president ever - and yet still people won't stand up and impeach him. I don't believe that Bush is as stupid as he pretends to be, but I do believe that he is stupid enough, and at the same time clever enough, to be a danger to the whole Western world. I would also like to see the Presidential executive powers removed, so that democracy can be allowed to do it's job.

If one person has the power to institute the changes you mention, and in doing so create a dictatorship, then surely moves should be made to remove that level of power, and to make sure that more than one person has a chance to vote on whether those changes would be wise. That’s why the US has a Senate and Congress; and that’s why those functions of governement should have the say on how the country is governed, rather than one person who may possibly be “not the brightest”.

If George Bush truly wanted to be a dictator, he would have already used those same executive powers to suspend habeus corpus and institute martial law by now. He's had that power since the day he took office, and look ----- the secret police are still letting you blog away to your heart's content. Don't buy the hype..... Al,
