"Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for would be of no advantage to you." Hebrews 13:17
"Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Concider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." Hebrews 13:7
If we remember and pray for our leaders that God has placed in leadership positions for God to direct their minds and decisions and make them into better leaders and role models, then maybe they would make better choices for this world. Afterall this is what we have been advised to do, so why don't we? Instead we just complain and throw hate around. Shouldn't we show love and pray as we have been asked to?

I pray for Olmert, Sharon, Bush, Blair, and others including local leaders everyday. I pray for the Lord's wisdom and blessing on them, whether I like them or not.
1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
I Cr 13;8a

There are a lot of things that God has commanded us to do, yet we seem to forget about those things also..for instance..trying to live a holy life...obey God's commandments..and yes, praying for others, including our leaders..maybe it's time all of us take a step back and evaluate our standing with God..are we indeed who and what we claim to be?!

My gut leads me right past human opinion and into a wonder of science and spirituality.
The Bible was edited, my friend.
