My position is, and always has been, that my prefered system offers the better and more stable solution. That does not mean I am saying my system is not subject to abuses and failures. I am saying that humans are the root of the problem in any system.

It is what I was proposing on the Rev Wright/ Obama thread! To blame the system for the failures and foibles of those who operate it (Which Wright did/does) at any one time is nonsense. Blame Bush if you will for the Iraq stalemate. But don't blame our system.
I think grandpa's idea that we citizens are collectively to blame for some of the mistakes our political leaders make is a stretch! And then to blame the system is even more illogical. This is not a government that easily ignores the principles of our constitution and the rule of law.
