92. What I called inappropriate was not your view,
but your wording: "the wrong system."

My second paragraph is based on the idea that if there's nothing wrong with a system then it's perfect and if there's something wrong with a system then it's imperfect. If you disagree then I don't understand what you mean by "wrong" and we should probably consider some examples to increase clarity.

The movie dialog was just for innocent fun and if you didn't like it then consider it retracted.

I believe that, under a better system, GWB would not have gotten into the White House. However, under a better system he would have had less power to wage war even if he had gotten into the White House.

You mention a need for the system to allow people who have power to react quickly. What kinds of events are they reacting to? Natural disasters are one thing. Events caused by other powers are something else. If there's a competition for speed at the cost of quality by world leaders who are reacting to each other, then the outcome might be rather unpleasant.
