Will our Congress resign?

I never knew that governing bodies can resign amid protest. Nixon can resign. He can flash his peace-signs. But would our own Congress ever resign under any circumstance?



And of course, a Middle-East conflict just isn't one without some degree of U.S. involvement.

Syria has been under intense American pressure because of its support for anti-Israel terrorism and for what Washington says is its tolerance of wanted former Iraqi officials taking refuge in Syria. In addition, the Bush administration has pressed for Syrian troops to leave Lebanon. (The New York Times)
See, but as anarchistic and chaotic this may seem... It's a reminder to all that government is only a body created by the people. John Locke and Thomas Jefferson's idea that the people have a right to reject a government that is not doing its primary job of preserving the natural rights of its people.

Mr. Karami, a Syria loyalist, announced his resignation in a terse statement as Parliament reconvened debate on the confidence measure. "Out of concern that the government does not become an obstacle to the good of the country, I announce the resignation of the government I had the honor to lead," he said.

You know what that paragraph should really say?

George Walker Bush, the incompetent heir to the unfortunate Bush dynasty, announced his resignation in an incoherent statement as Congress reconvened debate on public confidence, or complete lack thereof. "Out of concern that the government does not become an odbstacle to the goo dof the country, I announce the resigmination of the government I had the honor to lead into dire predicaments," he said.
A girl can dream...
