- Right.

"And in the first place, it's not a one-man rule!"
- Right also. It was not a one-man rule. It was a collective decision and those who did so decide at that material time should take responsibility. No doubt they did what they thought was right with the information available to them at that time. The fact that they had insufficient credible information to proceed is another thing. It ain't just GW Bush.

Can you all imagine having to stand guided by your generals who have their own personal agendas and enough of them on one side and the leader has no choice but to follow the majority rule?

There are pros and cons to every situation in life.. and this supports the arguments for dictators - of course, the dictators tend to have their own personal interests at the fore and thus, that's worse. At least a collective decision making system needs more than 1 little napoleon on the same side to swing the decision. In fact, I say, string up those cowards by their toenails, who decided the fate of innocent people and now hiding behind the cloak of democracy!!
