2. Silly. Democracy only works when the people vote for candidates "we" like.
Remember: a freedom fighter is a terrorist we like.

7. Democracy is a good thing if and only if....
... it validates the pre-decided outcome of the American neo-conservatives. Otherwise, it is "anarchic, communist influences that have corrupted the process and perverted true democracy."

I mean, just look at the United States' reaction to the free elections in Argentina a few years back.
