It doesn't solve the problem. I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, "Democracy is the worst form of government there is, except for all the others." That about sums it up.

That was actually the most impressive thing the Bush administration did. A priori, Blair looked to be a fairly smart guy, but he folded without saying a word. Bush and friends must have had some wonderful dirt on him. > The UK have done no better electing their leaders. Blair was > re-elected twice. Really. With the two largest economies being run by a top Harvard Law graduate and a Stanford PhD, the Brits are looking badly underpowered. -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan
