As leader when your Government fails, you have a few options:
1) Resign yourself
2) Clean house and start over
3) Play Queen and just keep looking at the Potemkin villages and smirk.
Maybe Bush should take a hint from Ukraine. If it's broke, clean house or end up like your predecessor... From the Telegraph (UK):
Viktor Yushchenko, the Ukrainian president, has dismissed his Cabinet for failing to show "team spirit".Some day I hope MY country has a Government that sees the error of its ways and tries to correct it, instead of diminishing the public's faith to a point where incompetence is tolerated and accepted.
Yulia Tymoshenko's government has been dissolved
Concern is growing about the stability of the regime which took control in the peaceful Orange Revolution last November in the face of opposition from Moscow.
The same allegations of corruption which plagued Leonid Kuchma's government are now being levelled at his successor Mr Yushchenko's regime.
