Does your president have absolute power over you?

it seams that the americans are the people who are really living under a dictatorship . bush does not want to listen to his people and other elected politiacians . what was the point of the iraq study group. its like going to a expert and asking for advise and then doing the oposite . we all know that another bush is getting groomed to be an other president of the usa and they have a lot of political power money and lots of propaganda tools to get in power and then abuse it .and the american people are buying it . if saddam was to retire then i am sure he would have made one of his sons the next president of iraq. see the similarity
