But fortunately things worked out well-enough for him. It was an exceedingly dangerous thing to do, but I can for the most part buy the fact that it was probably necessary.
I don't think that the fact that it worked out that one time should ever be used as a justification for it to be done again.
A lesser man serving as President (eg. Bush) and the consequences could be truly devastating. Bye0Bye Democracy!!
