Re:Re: Superpower

This is a thought provoking article on democracy (not an attack on Obama) about the defect(s) of democracy:

"...if I were to send a private Predator drone to Pakistan to fire explosive missiles into villages, killing women, children, and other innocent persons, I would be seen as a monstrous mass murderer, and demands would be made that I be apprehended and “brought to justice” or killed. Yet when President Obama causes deaths in this way, no such demands are made. How did Barack Obama come by the right to kill innocent people?  By democratic election to the presidency of the United States, of course."
