All three countries, USA, Israel and Iran, seem to be ran by old clueless men. Something is seriously wrong with it. We need a better way to choose leaders. The whole idea of democracy, that replaced monarchy, was that people would not stay in power for long. 8 years max, better yet 4. There would be rotation and fresh blood on top. That we would vote in one ruler and then replace him with another one before he gets old.

Democracy used to be a breakthrough, but now it seems that elites found a way to game a system. Netanyahu is in power for 17 years. Merkel in Germany was in power for 16. Last summer it was revealed that USA is being run by a mentally incapable man. And after it was revealed, he was replaced with another one, who is just as old and just as ill.

Something is seriously off.
