Dear Al Franken, Why do americains let it happen?

Al, this is a “hate letter”, but not directly specially at you, nor your sycophants, nor your enablers, but ALL of you. I have just listened to two of the major Democratic people (Rep. Charles Rangel and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,) who condemned Hugo Chavez comments during his stay in NY. I would concede that they where not polite words, but you Americans must understand that you allow him(Bush) to do what he does. YOU, and I mean you AL among others, let him and his crew lie constantly, let him wage war and terror (torture, at lest, is terror) around the world in the name of the United States. Rangel said

"If there's any criticism of President Bush, it should be restricted to Americans, whether they voted for him or not," Rangel said at a Washington news conference.

He is saying that it was not the place of non-Americans to comment on “MY” president but you as a people have failed. He is, and you have said this and it is true, he is a murder. He has killed your people, killed those around the world. Like a mob boss, just because he was not the one who pulled the trigger, does not make him any less responsible. More so for this president (who would easily be convicted of war crimes and maybe crimes against humanity), he should have been stopped by the people of America and he was not. Failure to do so means, at least to the vast majority of the world, implies he speaks with the approval of the people of the US (perhaps in the same why people think that Hitler spoke for the people of Germany, not that Bush is as bad as Hitler).
You may say you have tried to stop this horror, but your and your system (for-profit politics, commercialization of news, etc) have failed and you deserve to be chastised by the world. Your president deserves to be chastised by foreign leaders because he deserves it. I found it interesting that Chavez received cheers (and not polite cheer, but honest cheers) through out his speech at the Harlem church including those comments that offended the Not-so-Democrats (and yes, they are infinitely better than the Republicans, but far worse than then Green Party).
Your failure to allow this violent, sadistic and evil individual remain in office; remain being your leaders; the face of the US in the world; has shown that the people of the US are not up to the task to restrain this thug. Because of this failure the world is stepping up to the plate; forced for the sake of self preservation; for global preservation.. Chavez is saying what YOU should be; you should be doing what need to be done (impeach?). You have commented on the fact that the US has lost the moral high ground (something those who were subject to American intervention in South America, Southeast Asia, native American, etc would say they had lost it centuries ago), that the US is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands in an unprovoked belligerent war (Iraq) and indirectly by carelessly violent intervention (Afghanistan) and we will not ever mention the number of people who will die because the US (supposedly the worlds only super-power) failed to use its superior morality to help (Darfur).
There is more to being a super-power than having military might (mostly waited in Iraq) or economic might (currently mortgaged to China), but here is moral might, something the US has avoided very well. For every step to the virtuous made by the US, it makes several clumsy leaps to the offensive.
I am NOT an Americans and that only bothers be because I do not have the power to stop this global carnage, but then again I do not have to live with the guilt. Some might say that I am being too harsh and have no right to speak. That would be true if your president had not effect on my life, true if the only people he killed; the land he harmed was American but it is not and that gives the world the right to speak about your presidents, foreign policy, morality, political system and all things related. You listen to your leaders cheat and steal, you listen to them LIE to you CONSTANTLY and do nothing but hide behind the excuse that it is our system. PEOPLE ARE DIEING, suck it up and changed it or be prepared to suffer the consequence of global condemnation and the equally evil ramification of violence against your people and your allies. Canadians are dieing.
Al, you and the Democrat party (I use Democrat, because you are no more democratic than the Republicans although the world hopes you will be less corrupt, but I think the bar has been raised and they (again I hope you will be better, you should run not as a Dem but as a Green Party member, you have the image to win)
