| Message | Ah yes, the US under Dubya, are you sure that's an argument *for* this nuclear policy. This is a guy who thinks *tactical* nukes are a great idea. I can be persuaded of the merits of having a strategic nuclear weapons program, and I can even be persuaded that there might come a time when you really need to *use* the weapons rather than just waving them about like a dick subsitute; but tactical nuclear devices are really asking for armageddon. Still, it's not like the guy with his finger on the button is a religious fanatic with a messiah complex or anything... |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
