And please, for the love of God, refrain from turning this into a political debate. Just if you were in the ultimate position of power, how would you use that power? Fatality.

World peace! Oh, sorry, forgot I'm not Miss Universe. LOL J/K.

Well, I would order to clean the streets, help the homeless, open more jobs, be more strict with security, etc.

Put all the corrupt bastards (regardless of who they are; one of the daughters of my country's President has been a very good friend of mine all my life) who have made themselves very rich by fucking up Honduras' economy (remember what happened in Argentina not so long ago? I wouldn't be surprised if it happens here in the next couple of years) in jail for several years.

I'd cut off diplomatic relations with Israel, cut all aide to them, work to get sanctions passed agaist them, and maybe even enforce a blockade.

I'd work harder for solutions to the Indian-Pakistani, Chinese-Taiwanese, North Korean-South Korean, and Chechnyan-Russian conflicts.

I would implement National Healthcare, ban the Death penalty, legalize all drugs, legalize gay marriage, and introduce new civil rights laws(protecting affirmative action, protecting gays from job discrimination, etc.)...

Let's see..what else?

Oh yeah, I'd reform the tax code, making it simpler with less loopholes, I'd cut the federal income tax to maybe only 6%(a flat rate at that, everyone pays 6%), and introduce a 10% national sales tax.

I'd make sure that community college is free.

I'd re-institute the draft, to motivate more people to get involved in politics, to bolster the number of people in our military, promote service to our country, and make sure the burden of defending the country is equally shared by all races and socioeconomic classes.

Um...I dunno I might think of some more stuff later...

Screw Bush and Kerry. TinMan for President, 2004. grin
EDIT: Here's some more. I'd make the U.S. officialy bi-lingual, English-Spanish. I'd have us completely switch over to the Metric system. I'd make Soccer the national sport.
I'd eliminate the FCC, people can broadcast what the fuck they want. I'd create a Chancellorship to share power with the President(thus Pres. would be Head of State, Chancellor Head of Government). I'd upgrade the country's infrastructure. I'd launch a new initiative to make broadband available in every area of the country, i'd also spread wireless internet. Sort of similar how to Roosevelt spread the use of electricity.
I'd eliminate corporate welfare, and provide tax breaks to corporations who bring jobs back home...

If I was the almighty leader of Romania...

-I'd annihilate all forms of corruption, and throw all corrupt politicians in jail.

-I'd sentence Ion Iliescu to life imprisonment for high treason (Iliescu's a KGB agent who sold Moldova to the Russians, as well as much of Romania's confidential information).

-All Communists would get life imprisonment.

-All members of the S.E.C.U.R (Romania's Secret Police during Communism, they killed tens of thousamds of innocents) would be executed.

-I'd get rid of poverty

-I'd get rid of international debt.

-I'd completely reform the education system.

-I'd raise all salaries.

-I'd make a larger army, and every soldier would be trained in Martial Arts.

-I'd modernise Romania completely. Everyone will have access to video games, computers, high-tech cars, etc...

-I'd make video gaming and Anime/Manga into national pastimes.

-I'd re-instate the death penalty.

-I'd help out the Gypsies. To this day, they don't work, they steal all the time, they have gang wars and do absolutely nothing good for society. I'd help them become civilsed, find honest work and become good, productive members of society.

-I'd re-unite Romania and Moldova. At the same time, I'd destroy Moldova's Communist dictatorship. All Communists will have to get the fuck out if they value their lives ! Also, to the terrorist and the butcher Igor Smirnov, I'd order a horrible, gruesome death.

-I'd turn Romania into one of the most advanvced, technological, prosperous nations on Earth. Romania would be on par with Japan. Which is also coincidential since Romania would become a very close friend of Japan, economically and diplomatically. Which would also be the perfect opportunity to introduce Romanians to the marvelous art form that is Japanese Puroresu wrestling, as well as to the outstanding athletes that represent it best, TAKA Michinoku and Ultimo Dragon.

If I had the absolute power in Belgium...

- All citizens would have to learn at least three languages (two languages of Belgium they do not speak as a mother language + English)
- The fascist-seperatist party (Vlaams Blok) would be banned
- I would remove the taxation on wages
- I would reform the health-care and welfare system and have the government pay each citizen a small sum of money per month instead (it's a complex idea to improve economy I won't elaborate on now, but it would work)
- I would strive to unite Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg into one country
- I would strive to unite the EU into a confederacy
- Education would become another priority
- Work would be done to integrate immigrants into our society

That's about it.

Let's see, if I was the Prime Minister of Canada...

-Stricter laws against rapists and molesters (longer sentences, and permanently stamped on the forehead "RAPIST"/"MOLESTER");
-Stop gang violence and make sure people are safe by bringing back the War Times act;
-Put money where it is actually needed, and not into my pockets;
-Raise taxes against companies that do not follow the Kyoto accord.

I'd abolish legal abortion. Those who knowingly perform abortions will be given the same penalty as child killers.

Indeed, I would also abolish abortion.
The only 2 cases in which abortion will be acceptable:
-Either the mother or the child will die if the birth goes underway.
-The mother was raped.

Also, pedophiles would be condemned to death in S_N987's Great Romania.
The same fate also awaits drug dealers.
