I believe the point texas grass is trying to make.

The concept of democracy is based on majority rule without consideration of the minority parties involved. Pure democracy isn't necessarily a good thing. In it's purest form, it'd lead to mob mentality and rule. Full-fledged

The concept of a republic enables the US to correct some of these imbalances in law. Just because the majority of people believe it, doesn't mean it's the best course of action take. If we let mob-rule enact all our laws, I'm sure America will not have made some of the advances we made, especially on civil rights.

When you talk about the spread of democracy I liken it to a trader who got pretty rich and gives seminars to people on the secret of their success. They give them enough information on how they rich, but not their real formula of success. It's to open up investment in those countries. In the end, the intent is a win-win solution. Prosperity is good for all countries, but I believe America could've used less aggressive means, but I don't buy that people intended to spread misinformation. It's the perception our own government spreads. So really, what's in a name?
