I honestly don't care too much about Hussien. I've got finals. I just want Patrick's dad working in Kirkuk to be ok.
As for democracy, my last two papers for the English "history" class I took this semester both focused on problems in electoral systems. The last British government formed with over 50% of the popluar vote was in 1931. Yet excluding a few years, each of those governments could weild (and, espically in the case of Thatcher, did) weild great powers, much greater than our system theoritically allows our government. If I wasn't extremley tired, I would try to start a disscussion about diffrent electoral systems, but it's something I still need to learn more about. I just know that I don't like the system we have here, or the British system, at least in terms of Parliament. . .
