24. the world is waiting
for the us to take actions on their leaders, "if" they did something wrong. But to investigate this the first step would require impeachment hearings. Or at last a general discussion.

Can´t imagine the u.s. outcry if something like is (manipulated elections (twice?), a war on false information (Iraq), violation of international treaties (torture, gitmo...) had happened elsewhere in the world.
You may read some u.s. newspapers of the 30s, when "some things" in Germany wend wrong.
This outcry, a national stand up ... or just a national debate about it - This is what I´m missing today in the us. Because I have grown up in a time, where the u.s. was simply the "good" one during the cold war. - Now you represent (in the eyes of the world) more the bad (War for oil, environment...).
