Donal,

What a Stupid Statement that is! You have to be Irish to say something
like that.

How in the hell can a appointed representative be more democratic than a
representative elected by the public.

Easy!


Donal, if you reply; please find out what Democracy means

Let me try to explain my understanding of "Democracy".

Democracy refers to a system of government where the will of the people is
the supreme power.

Most forms of government are based on a "Pyramid of Power".


At the top of the pyramid, we have the chief executive officer. The CEO
may have one of the following titles - "President", "Prime Minister", "El
Dulce", "Emporer", "Fuhrer" ... etc.

The real difference between a Democracy and a Dictatorship is where the real
*power* lies.

In a dictatorship, the dictator has ultimate authority - and the people have
none. In a democracy, the people have ultimate authority - and the CEO (in
theory) has very little.

In a Democracy, the people elect representatives. These "representatives"
should always vote according to their constituents' views. However, they
tend to toe the party line, therefore they behave in an undemocratic
manner. The "CEO" should be responsible to the representatives, however,
in most democracies, the CEO has the ability to confer status upon the
representatives. This means that the elected representatives will place
more weight on the views of their leader than their voters.

Bush wanted war. The Republican represantiteves supported him because they
would not get promoted if they voted against him. The same thing happened
in the UK. Here, most people were against the war. However, because Blair
wanted war, the MP's voted for it.




Regards

I bet that you cannot explain the connection berween Terrorists and Saddam.



If you found the "terrorist" challenge too difficult, then I will offer you
an easier test of your knowledge.

I bet that you cannot give us a single exanple of a "threat" from Saddam.

Congratulations!! How long did that take you? Everybody else figured it
out years ago!!


Dont you vote in Ireland?

No, I don't.

Are you a British citizen or just a Gypsie meddelin in nunya?

Uh . oh! What the heck is "nunya"?

Absolutely. Now if we could just find any decent leadership .....

Saddam had to go.

Why? He had zip to do with the terrorists who attacked us. In fact, they
hated him and his secular government more than they hated us - and vice
versa. Logically, from a pro-America standpoint, we should have paid Saddam
to go after Al Quida. But no, Bush pulled assets away from the war on terror
to go after Osama's other enemy, Saddam. Eliminating one of the terrorists'
enemies makes zero sense from a pro- America standpoint, especially when we
took pressure off our mutual enemy to do it. Now we're in a $trillion
quagmire that looks more like 'nam every day and Osama is laughing up his
sleeve
