Before commenting everyone should read or reread the Constitution of the USA! It is an experiment in represntative government and democratic participation virtually un matched elsewhere. There is written in protection of the rights of US citizens written into this founding document. They cannot be erased or changed without the participation of the people through their legislators. The concept and its execution is subject to human interpretation and execution! Thus this superlative form of governance is subjected to the frailties of the human beings elected to run it and conduct its business. We may not always agree with the policies executed but they are done in a representative system. e.g. The Bush policy of invading Iraq was done with the consent of those legislators we elected!
Tim makes the point.
We don't have any Mugabes or Saddams here making their nations decisions at the point of a gun or sword? Our leaders act under the protective framework of the laws.Thus don't criticise the systemor the nation, criticize the elected .representatives?
