Or: "Was it good for you, too?"
Hey, hey, we're promoting "democracy" 'round the world - isn't it a wonderful thing? Oh, yes ...
Democracy is a system, hallowed be thy name, in which elected officials send the nation's young and dumb into battle on phoney evidence. Democracy is a place where there is active debate over whether to torture people. They are, after all, SUSPECTED enemies. It's the name we give to a government who bombs other countries before asking, then invades them. Hallelujah! And then take credit and implement the hanging of leaders of said countries.
But that's ok, that's ok ...
We all know there is no other way ...
(Hey, that's good.)
And now for all the nice people in middle-eastern countries who may be next on the list: Convert to democracy, please, before we bomb you into agreeing with us. We are sure you see the Logic. And because we enjoy freedom of speech (a wonderful thing), we can discuss everything afterward.
And now I'm sitting here wondering if democracy is, indeed, really the best way. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? Peace, -Todd
