That's where democracy provides the checks and balances. Every single leader who opposed Bush during Iraq war won the general elections- Schroeder, Putin, Chirac..Every single supporter had their vote shares drastically reduced (such as Blair).. Unfortunately because of conservative brainwashing and FUD around gay marriages, etc that did not happen in USA. I live in the liberal Left part of USA (San Francisco to be precise)..To lot of residents in SFO, Bush=Stalin=Hitler with no difference..History has been fair to Hitler-the guy eventually died at the end of the war. This SOB, George W. will retire in his Texas ranch after presiding over the massacre of millions.
