(I am not supporting or critizing the idea of removing people from
their position, I have no opinion as I do not consider me enough to do
so.)
As European stating how *ridiculous* some USA, French, Italian,
English (... to be continued) politicians can be, I do not
see any problem to recommend firing these *ridiculous* naughty
persons. I fact, it would be hypocritical to pretend not being do
that, unless you express an ultra-nationalistic point of view saying
something like 'this people got crappy leaders but they deserve
them'.
