Sorry to interrupt, but the English Nazi in me demands that I correct those of you who believe that the USA is a democracy. It is not...yet.

The United States as established is a federal republic...the rule of law, not a democracy which is the rule by a majority.

Here is a nice video to explain the difference.

Thank you and goodnight.

You be highly mistaken if you believed that any of us don't know what we formed and why we dumped you.

Then I'd have to agree with Radar.

So let me get this straight, you think that the United States has the right to go into any sovereign country that is not a democracy, and take over, so we can spread democracy? That is not very democratic.

Nope, thats not what I'm saying, not by a long shot.
