I don't believe that politics is a science by any meaning. Politics is though a loop hole that the whole world is stuck in. Can anyone mention one thing politicians were involved in without ruining it!
Politics + Religion = Wars, Sectarian Violence, Terrorism, etc..
Politics + Science = Global Warming, Nuclear and Mass Destruction Weapons
Politics + Ethics = Gay marriage, stemcells research.
Politcs + Law = Privacy Invasion, Interrogative Torture
The only thing politicians seem to be good at is $$$
Politics + $$$ = Mad Beast
The problem with politics is that it depends greatly on charismatic people, who master the art of scaring the public to achieve their goals. These are the politicians who make their way to the front lines with the public. Mind you, it is proven throughout the history that if you scare people and make yourself appear as their only protector they will follow you, regardless of how arrogant you may look. This is where the point of inequilibrium apppears as there is no opposing or rectifying force for the who process. Democracy, free elections, sovereinity are all processes to guarantee the cycle within politics, i.e. we get rid of a politician to get another. Our problem is not with individuals only but with politics as whole system if we can say. Its main source of empowerment is the media where both politicians and the media are dollar and power hungry. Actually media is another curse as it occasionally looks to be a watchdog stopping politicians from messing up, which is totaly wrong as its polarized by prevailing political trends, to achieve maximum financial gains.
Our world is slowly sliding into hell. Thanks to politics.
A Politics Free World

Definitions do not necissarily reflect practice, for the later is subject to individual biases, group interests, and social relationships. That is enough to make politics "an organised system of chaos".magentabluesky wrote: Political Science

There is no escaping politics.
It is a necessary mechanism of governing "conduct".
To wish for a world (or even a human relationship) without it is admirable, but I think unrealistic.
Don't give up on the world. There still is a lot of wonderful things to see and experience and beautiful people to share with.

Do you agree on having a politics free world? Or are you disagreeing on that US policy is influenced by the Zionist Lobby? Whats the relation between the two? Can you elaborate a bit more?

I don't know how lobbies penetrate the US, but many concerns have lobbies in Washington DC and they work there to promote their parochial concerns. They use their money to buy access to legislative staffs and help to write the legislation (in some cases over the last few years actually writing the legislation). Their money buys them the favorable attention of the legislature.
We have the finest Congress that money can buy.
The Israeli lobby is actually quite small and not particularly powerful compared to their many competitors.

Its influence is not quite significant when it comes to direct internal US policies but its the main drive for its foreign policies. It is a loose group of individual and organisations who work on daily basis to bend the US policy into a pro Israeli direction. AIPAC is an example of an American Zionist Lobby formed organisation that has a stranglehold on the US congress. Fox News is another example which has a great role in manipulating the public and influencing the decision making process. It is an impressively built interpenetrated cycle of both upper and lower authority levels
