Rev Run asked:


We might see reforms as the country gradually goes from authoritarian state capitalism to a social democracy or democratic socialism , but I don’t think they will turn laissez faire. The people of Cuba still believe in the socialist revolution even though Castro betrayed them by becoming a dictator.

I’ve begun to notice that more and more of world leaders are losing support and in fact their subjects are beginning to hate them. Hugo Chavez is hated, simply hated less than the rest of the candidates for his office. Mahmoud Ahmadenijad lost his party the parliamentary control. Vladimir Putin of Russia is accused of murdering his critics (and nearly everyone in his country believes the accusations are true). Shinzo Abe and Hu Jintao are losing in their approval ratings. Ehud Olmert of Israel is at a 14% rating. But look at Palestine and neither party (Fatah and Hezbollah) is well-liked, they have too much in-fighting. At least three governments (Fuji, Thailand, Somalia) have had coups to toss out their governments, and there are probably many more on their way out. Fidel Castro of Cuba gets sick enough to die and his country cheers the news with parades. Tony Blair will be forced into retirement soon (technically he already was, he just hasn’t left yet).
Even George Bush has only a 30% approval and falling, but the new Democrat Congress is seen only as a stop-gap measure to slow him down in his foolishness rather than a chance at new beginnings. With all this I’m beginning to think that soon the people all over the world will soon “revolt” in hopes of establishing a new world order geared toward peace. While normally this would be a good thing, it seems like the perfect environment for someone like the Antichrist to rise up (or rather depending on religion, just someone against God’s plans, whether you believe in Jesus, Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, etc.). Do others believe this is it, we are about to witness the fulfillment of Revelations (or any other prophetic book of the last days of humankind in its present form)?

AJ asked:


Or does the executive have too much power in practice regardless of the system?

Suppose Mugabe sat in the Oval Office. Would America be a better place than the one we have now?

Are there any countries that exhibit a system of clear checks and balances? Countries with a weaker executive?
