Yes, you really should think that through.

And, if you're referring to Iraq, before the military dictatorships and the brutal oppression, they were a parliamentary democracy. The Iraqis want democracy.

So, basically, your theory falls flat on its face.

Dictatorship. Please. If that were so, Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Reid and Pelosi would all be burning in hell already.

This dictatorship crap is some of the most ignorant thinking I've ever seen. You probably are clueless as to how stupid such drivel makes the anti-Bush people look.

Well, the key element of a dictatorship is where the person enforcing the laws does so at his (or her) discretion, choosing which laws to enforce against who. More importantly, the dictator is free to ignore the laws, because there are no checks and balances.

So are you concerned that Bush is ignoring federal law (FISA, Stored Communications Act, War Powers Act) or that Bush is claiming federal courts do not have the authority to review his policies and actions (NSA, CIA, Gitmo), or that Bush is ignoring decisions of the US Supreme Court (Padilla, Hamdi)?

At last count, the Command-in-Sheik has admitted to actions which violates Articles I, III, IV, and VI of the Constitution and the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments. All the while claiming that neither Congress nor the courts have any oversight, and that as the "Unitary Executive" he can do anything he wants in the War on Terror.

You're not saying that kind of claim of unchecked non-reviewable authority amounts to a dictatorship, are you?
