Trouble is that all these political games being played by politicians are killing people. I think it is time that politicians stopped playing their silly games, stopped trying to just stay in power, stopped working for their already very financially rich friends in business and got on with the point of the democratic political system, government by the people for the people. The democratic system does this through representatives (like Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair, etc.). It may all be one big game to them but they are having severe impacts on peoples lives (including killing people).
I would suggest that the western world does not actually have democratic government. When you get one vote every 4 or 5 years and that vote is subject to all sorts of abuse, system failures (computer failures, electoral registration failures, etc.), is swayed through intensive PR campaigns and untruths. This is not government by the people (if that is what democracy is). Maybe democracy is the nation electing a dictator for 4 (or 5 years).
May be a naïve opinion about politics but it should all be about the lives of people.
