The real democracy happened in Greece. What you have is parlamentarism where the one who has the most money lobbies things in their favour. It is REAL far from a real democracy. It seems that you're the brainwashed one if you fail to see the misery the 'freedom' trips have caused in Korea, Vietnam, Afganistan, Iraq etc. The vast majority of the people living on those areas think that their life was better before the war was brought to them - even if they were ruled by dictators. Even in Afganistan things haven't really improved at all. Now the women have begun to have some hope but the attitude of the general population is just as sick as ever and they acid, poison or shoot the ones who have the odassity to do something daring such as, say, to go to school.
You would have helped these people the best by investing 0,01% of the funds you spent attacking the country into helping these people to migrate away from there. It would have given them free meals, room and board for the rest of their lives 
But as you're brainwashed and believe the propaganda Haliburton etc. are feeding you, you fail to see that all these 'freedom' campaigns are nothing but cash cows for your countrys elite. Dick Cheney is one of the biggest gainers of these conflicts and nobody questions how he can still participate in the decision making process?
You talk about brainwashing - it's time to look in the mirror.
Lol, I think you'v seen to many Hollywood movies.
http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-greece-democracyHowever, the “equality” Herodotus described was limited to a small segment of the Athenian population. For example, in Athens in the middle of the 4th century there were about 100,000 citizens (Athenian citizenship was limited to men and women whose parents had also been Athenian citizens), about 10,000 metoikoi, or “resident foreigners” and 150,000 slaves. Out of all those people, only male citizens who were older than 18 were a part of the demos, meaning only about 40,000 people could participate in the democratic process.
Sure as long as you werent a slave you'd be one of about 40,000 "free" people in the world at the time.
Your funny.
I was really going to let this guys ridiculous "little people" statement go, and would have, except for the fact not only of my own 18 mos experience in the ME but I also just read a new book at what the Soviets did to eastern Europe after WW2, most of all Poland, and what the Reds would have done to the rest of the world had not a counter been in place all those long decades. What about those "little people" or the millions, billions who grew up free generation after generation in Europe and Asia?
Were not in Afghanistan to spread welfare checks and Obama care to the people there, tho peace and prosperity would be nice for the Afghans its up to them to find it. And I doubt they will. We are there to keep an enemy who attacked our civilians numerous times from having their own country to train, arm, and export their philosophy of hatred towards other religions and peoples.
HELLO!
I have to leave this now cause the Red line was crossed, tho not first by me. I just couldnt let this one go cause Im sick of hearing this dogma, and the making of exuses for low life racist murder'ers.
