We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

To clear it up a little, they knew the soldiers were dead when they negotiated for their return.

Well I guess someone HAS to like him in order for him ot stay in office. But does your country enforce and "8 year ruling" rule?
Example: Pres. Bush has been elected once for 4 years. Now he can only be elected one more time before his 8 years are up.

Actually, in the US you can be in for nearly ten years if you assume the presidency by having the president die or resign just after halfway through, THEN you get elected twice.
If you served more than half of someone else's term, you can't be elected yourself more than once.
I think the term (insert groans) you're actually looking for is 'term limits'

Thankyou D_999 - That is what I meant.
EDIT: Though I did not know that you can get more time by having the pres. dead.

Well, as long as you're here, why don't you stay a while, and have a look? It's good to see an old face, not many around these days. Did you notice that we have a brand new off topic section?
So this is the off-topic section, aye? 
politics.. yuck. I don't deal with them much, but on the casualty-count posts I have two points -
(1) considering media propoganda - there have been a few incidents of arab television reproducing artificially Israeli 'attacks'. you could spot those by seeing palestinians getting hit, then an ambulance mysteriously arrives in less than 4 minutes, and this is the good part - if you know arabic you could hear the producer yelling "wait... okay! medics go in now! more fire! go go!"
(2) considering casualty count - for example, there was one time when a vehicle was targeted and blasted by F16s; the arabs say the bomb killed some 20 by standers. alas, the F16's camera footage distinctly shows no bystanders were near, and only a few running towards the car after the explosion took place.
I'm not saying these were acts were singular or that they happend many times. Who knows what television feeds us? what I do know is that if you take ten Chmmr Avatars and one hundred Zoq-Fot-Pik, most chances is the Chmmr will win the fight. But they don't do that. Even if the Chmmr have taken some of the ZFP's space, and even if the ZFP think the Chmmr are Zebranky reincarnated, in the end there would be many more casualties for the ZFP's side.
the Chmmr could wait for ages with their resources; all the ZFP have to do is stop with their attempts at the Chmmr, for a while (got to regain the trust between them), and to open hailing frequencies.
