You know, Stalin said if you remove the man you remove the problem.
This certainly worked with JFK. The US launched a full scale assault on Vietnam when LBJ got in, something Kennedy would never have sanctioned. But then again, the Joint Chiefs were the real advisors back then. Their word counted... They got what they wanted, so this remains the same.
But in the modern world, especially in the USA it won't work. Governments don't rely on the call of one man anymore, all they need is his signature. If Bush was stripped of office, assasinated or just came to the end of office it makes no difference. The structure and the people who make the real decisions still remain in power.
