It depends on the situation and the task at hand. If a government is doing fine is facism thats great. But if its doing horrible, underwaged, political stance is down, it would be a blessing to have a democratic country for once. Can you immagine the impact on the entire world being democratic? WELL can you? I highly doubt North Korea would submit to such a thing but really that would stop so many wars and battles, it could save millions of lives. But it could also be a national horror. One leader to rule them all. At least voting would still be in. It just depends on how you look at it, and what would be the cause and effect. For better? Or for worse? Til death do you part.

It's funny, the U.S.A is trying to spread democracy around the world, when the first World War was fought to "make the world safe for democracy." Actually isn't it ironic that USA is for spreading democracy when it as a country does not practice it at home. Who do you think elects your leaders? Certainly not the so-called voters...your leaders are picked by their respective parties far in advance of the primaries, and the "choice" you are given as a voter is a choiceless choice. Everybody knows this country is run by Big Business. Why do you think Ken Lay of Enron was the biggest contributor to George W. Bush's treasure trove? Because it buys influence, it buys power, it buys money, name and fame. The American politicos think they rule the world. We have troops in 160 countries around the world, and it's all for the sake of the god-almighty dollar. When politicians speak of doing something in the national interest, you can be sure that interest is spelled with a dollaR SIGN. tHE iNTERNATIONAL mONETARY fUND, AND wORLD bANK ARE RUN BY CORRUPT aMERICAN TYPES. wE LIVE IN EXCEPTIONAL TIMES, AND i EXPECT THE aMERICAN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC systems to crash and burn soon, like all empires before it...America will go down in "shock and awe" and it will have no one to blame but itself. The American armed forces around the world are merely Caesar's legions out to conquer the world while the American culture at home implodes from corruption and mindless tv that no one questions, idiotic patriotism that beleives that politics means putting a bumper sticker on your car and there, you've done your duty as a responsible citizen. The Iraq war is about o i l and there's no two ways about it. So, the solution to the great issues of war and peace in our time? We want reformers, but those who will reform themselves first; please excuse if I have offended anyone, but the American people do not know how they are manipulated at every step by these gross and crass politicians who just want to fatten their bank balance. See how the mighty have fallen: Richard Nixon, Dan Rowstenkowski, Carl Rove, Skooter Libby, Tom Delay, et al. The econom,ic system of the world is about to crash. So the politicos create a war to distract the people's attention to the real issues of economics and how we can live our lives freely. The CIA has a thing they call, "Strategy of tension," which is a plan to destabilize nations by creating a problem and then manipulating events so the CIA can control the solution to the problem they have created. And finally, where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq...this obviously was a plot to manipulate public opinion so we could control the oil in the mid-east and build military bases in that region, all for the sake of the demoniac monetary forces which will not stop until they have destroyed the world. Have a nice day...
