The US has funded and actively brought down democracies and replaced them with dictatorships when it suited them, e.g. Chile Allende and Pinochet.
The US wants Iraqs oil and will only allow a government that will let them have it. If democracy brings another government, expect that the US will change it. :)
Democracy sounds good in theory but I can't think of a single instance of true democracy anywhere in the world.
The US seems to operate more of an oligarchy (def. Government by a few, especially by a small faction of persons or families) and the populace get to vote which of the faction becomes President.
I never was and never will be a fan of the now `Lady` Thatcher but I do agree with her comment that just because the majority want something, that in itself doesn`t make it right.
Democracy seems to suit some cultures and not others. There are alternatives but are they better or worse?
How does one choose?
By a democratic vote?
