Democracy is when your government only meets when ordered to do so by American. And democracy is when Americans attack a mosque and deny it was a mosque - while all Iraqi TV and satellite news services show that mosque with pools of blood and bullet holes everywhere.
Hell - why read when Americans are physically teaching Iraqis the definition of democracy - including a president who can lie repeatedly and almost everyone in the Cellar even stays silent.
Democracy is about a president who declares "Mission Accomplished" as the country is looted. Why read Locke when the definition is better found in legalized kidnapping and death squads lead even by police commanders.
