>Ah, U.S. elections and the mistakes we make. You are so right on this one Walter. If only we were like the Netherlands. The first George Bush could simply have abdicated like Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana and then there would not have been the Clinton years.

You lost me here....

If the US was like other countries like for example the UK or other democratic countries, you would not have presidents or prime ministers that earn that status through inheritance. We want to have the best intellectual candidate, not the one who has the biggest wallet, mouth or power otherwise. I this respect the US is living in the 18 and 19th century of the current western world.

If you're aiming at monarchies like in The Netherlands and the UK (and any western monarchy I know of), they don't really have any power in the government. Their status is merely cerimonial.
