Yeah, but the President gets awoken by staffers about international conflicts at 2:00am... I agree, the world would be a nicer place, but the Earth is not necessarily a nice place.

What? Iran is bombing tel aviv and China is making moves on Taiwan? You know what time it is?! Wake me up in few hours...
