Pleeease... stop the crap about "democracy". We are there about OIL!! OIL!! OIL!! Nothing but oil. And that's because of our greed. So don't tell me about democracy. GREED & democracy are not synonymous.

I guess you have a different historical reference than I do..

Because I seem to recall that what was "good about America" in the past was that we weren't embarrassed to believe that everyone in the world deserved to live in a democratic society.

We weren't embarrassed to confront tyranny and oppression, especially when the practictioners of those ideologies directly declared that their agenda was to destroy us.


Your friend Sylvester does want to live in a totally free democracy. He wants everyone to decide to live under a system where a man in a dress tells everyone else what to do, what to think, and how to live.....

Hmmmmmmm sounds like some kind of weird gay, s&m drag fetish
I wonder if Sylvester know something about the Mullahs that we don't

And BTW, if you want to talk about democracy look in Western Europe. Where right wing and centrist conservative parties can coexist with socialist and communist ones. Not like here where you are even afraid to utter the word "social" health care. Yeah, U.S. has democracy... sheesh...
