President-for-Life?

Via Attaturk at Rising Hegemon I read this crazed essay:

The wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead. Then there would be little risk or expense and no American army would be left exposed. But if he did this, his cowardly electorate would have instantly ended his term of office, if not his freedom or his life.The simple truth that modern weapons now mean a nation must practice genocide or commit suicide...

If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege while terrifying American enemies.

He could then follow Caesar's example and use his newfound popularity with the military to wield military power to become the first permanent president of America, and end the civil chaos caused by the continually squabbling Congress and the out-of-control Supreme Court.

President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.

Great googly moogly! I’m not one to worship at the altar of democracy for democracy’s sake, and I will readily accept that democracy has its problems, but obstructing genocide and unchecked tyranny are not among them. Those are features, not bugs.

And once you start the killing and enslaving, where do you stop? Did Laffer have a curve describing optimal purging and murdering and oppressing? President-for-Life Bush is going to have to kill just about everyone who opposes him, including most Americans. Then who is going to colonize the conquered provinces? Answer me that, Philip Atkinson.

Attaturk reckons the GOP candidates should be asked if they endorse this idea (assuming only that they would be the President-for-Life):

Democratic candidates are constantly asked about whatever Cindy Sheehan or Al Sharpton said -- I'd love to have the current GOP Candidates have to deal with this filth.
"I LOVE NUKING ARAB COUNTRIES!" - Mitt Romney
"Forget Iraq, nuke Mecca" - Tom Tancredo
"Why not both?" - Rudy Giuliani
