Alternative?

The Trillanes show called on President Arroyo to resign and the formation of a caretaker government headed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme court.

I would have been more sympathetic to their cause if I can get myself to trust Sen. Trillanes. But I can't, he has tried to overthrow a government that he does not approve off twice, how can we be sure that he will not do so again, even if it was a government that he helped form?

Another thing, they say that the Chief Justice will lead the caretaker government, but we don't know who will rule. Who will govern, how can we be sure that an un-elected government that has just demonstrated that they are willing to circumvent the democratic process to get what they want will actually follow the democratic process.

Dictatorship is not an alternative to democracy.
