A person with infinite powers is often seen in third world countries as a result of corruption, however, just the thought of that same person running a developed country is preposterous. I have lived in the West for a large majority of my life, and I have grown up with the ideals and practices that are accustomed to western society. Sacrifices were made in order for me to move to Canada and escape the harsh world of the Middle East. The main reason for moving away from the region was to find freedoms in a country abroad, and to think that these freedoms are being lessened is chilling. Especially since the number of countries standing by their promises for freedom are lessening. If the president of the United States is allowed to break the rule of law to spy on its citizens, then where will the new line be drawn on the freedoms of the citizens of the United States? If we give them an inch, they will take a mile.
