Well, she certainly doesn't seem very popular with some. How many coups has she had now?

Yes. Bush should apologize to the entire world and he should step down

i know there would some details and such to work out, and it could get a little chaotic, but i've often thought that a president should get auto-booted out of office when his approval rating drops below 50%.  he is after all suppose to elected my a majority of the people and to serve the people.\nmight keep more politicians on track instead of seeing a government office as a way to further their careers and wallet.

President Arroyo is much smarter than Estrada, and she is not a dictator like Marcos.\nI think she will finish her term in office without being forced out.\nThere are many political problems left to be solved in the Philippines.  Even though I am not a Filipino, I admire President Arroyo for her brains, toughness, and dedication to cleaning up government corruption.

I think he will be forced to resign. Rumsfeld seems to be out of the loop these days with the Bush Administration, which is an indication to me that he will be even more out of the loop after the elections.

I agree to military but you should consider the Filipinos very religious, just look what happend during edsa 1. I say change the government to parliament but no, the other Filipinos are to disagree, the masa like the popular people to be picked leader ex.actors(no offense, thats reality) .factors that lead to the downfall of the people is their poor education, lack of money, corrupt/uneducated(did not finish collage) officials and their laziness. this people live thier lives, they don't work hard and still they have this complains that they are poor and that wow some people have time to enjoy thier wealth. I hate the masses that complain and do nothing and that is their very poor culture.

He has been sacked because he was found sleeping and dreaming while on duty. He was negligent towards his duties as he should have been awake as a GUARD. But in reality he would not have been sacked if the President were aware of the power his sixth sense/ability to have dreams which are likely to predict foreseeable future. Any wise man in Power would give him different duty and absorb the talent with reward. 'Right man for right cause...' if the man in power is wise and he normally is, beyond doubt!

YES!!!  I agree with you that it should be a priority, but it wont happen--it would've happened already.  If we let him stay after the Florida debacle and the Ohio debacle, they arent going to remove the administration any time soon.  Doesnt matter who gets elected.  I agree that it could restore confidence around the world, but they already hate us and our arrogance, I dont think much will change that.  Will never happen.

His son in law is supposed to take over when he resigns/dies.  From what I read in the NY Daily News everyday though, his son in law seems like a real moron.

Philippines\nThe peso-dollar value is going up...Yay for us! But our president is still under the pressure of rallyists who want her to resign 'cause they say she cheated in the elections and she's doing a sucky job of running our country.\n\nTry searching for the "Hello Garcy" scandal.

Negotiations between Marcos & the US Government. On the evening of Sunday, February 23, American Secretary of State George Shultz advised the Philippine Ambassador in Washington that if Marcos did not step down, the Philippines was headed for civil war. Marcos also received a message from President Reagan that he and his family and close associates would be welcome to live in the United States.

Since the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos the Philipines political landscape has been marked with instability -- i.e. coups and potential coups -- so this current episode seems par for the course.  Furthermore, martial law is never the "answer" when it comes to governance.  Democracy depends upon government respecting the will of the people, and unless the Philipine's armed forces get THAT message then instability will be all that that nation knows, at least for the foreseeable future.

General Douglas MacArthur Commander of the United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) told the Filipino people and the whole world, "I Shall Return" upon landing on Australian soil on March 17, 1942. this was when the Fil-Am soldiers fighting against the Japanese during world war II made their last stand at Bataan and Corregidor in the Philippines. the Fil-Am forces were then transferred under the command of General Jonathan Wainwright from General Douglas MacArthur. Gen. Douglas MacArthur was ordered to leave the Philippines by President Roosevelt. he did return to the Philippines with then Philippine President Osmeña on October 20, 1944 at Leyte. \nthank God i've been listening to my history teacher.\nnote: the terrible mudslide actually occured in Southern Leyte.

GWB may be really in a sense "evil" in your POV but he is still a human capable of mistakes. Death is not an option for him. With all the things that are happening in America today, I'm sure he is as stressed as hell.\n\nAs, for the president of the Philippines, well, the Philippines suffered from corruption and all that sh*t. And I'm sure there will be a lot more. Death is not also the option for her, but she does has the guts, after all that she did, she still can stand tall (even though she's short) and look at the Filipinos even though her countrymen wants her out of the office. It's something.\n\nAnd also, if they by any chance die, what will happen to the countries they left hanging in jeopardy? More people will suffer from it, especially here in the Phils. Who will take their place? A more "evil" leader?\n\nLet's just hope for the best. \n\nPS:\n\nI don't admire any of those two, but I'm sure they are doing what thet can if not their very best for their countries. Let's just hope that the things that they are doing won't hurt anymore of their countrymen.

Resign, then move.\nI wouldn't live in a country that would have someone like me as their president.
