<There has never been a major war between two democratic nations>

1. U.S. vs. Confederacy (are you going to call the Confederacy undemocratic because blacks couldn't vote, or the North undemocratic because women couldn't vote?)
2. WWII (remember, Hitler came to power by winning a free and fair election. OK, Germany wasn't a democracy by 1939, but Hitler had made very clear what his intentions were, when the German people voted for him in 1932)
3. the War of 1812 was a war between the two most democratic nations on earth at the time.
