Can someone explain US democracy to me?

Gawain,
Thank you for the reply.

We dont throw out a president just because they were wrong on something.

Even if he is wrong in a case about war or peace? That is different here in Germany. Kanzler and Minister have to go pretty fast.

You dont know that as you havent been in a war since you were a democracy and havent had a prisoner since 1945. There is prisoner abuse in every war in history incuding by the US in WW2 but we didnt ask FDR to step down.

The abuse itself would not be a reason, I agree. But didn't they find out that there was not enough control there? That would be enough. German view is that the Minister is responsible for his organisation. If s.th. goes wrong he has to go even if he did not know. However, he could be reelected.

There is no such eveidence against the US. Only accusations.

But they put them at strange places and refused to give them a status of either criminals or POW. Isn't that enough to be suspicious?
