Thats what we all are brainwashed to think. See in a democracy 51 percent of the people dictate how the other 49 percent of the people have to live. If a republic 99 percent cant tell the 1 percent how to live.
WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY!!! OUR FOUNDING FOREFATHERS WERE AGAINST DEMOCRACY!

YEAH WERE NOW IN ANOTHER FUCKING CONTRY!!!!!! NEXT STOP THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOO. Im going to go crawl in my bunker now.
You are correct in that. I was pretty damn high when I typed my first entry, and I misspoke. It just goes to show how we've been trained to think of a democracy and republic as interchangable forms of government. We are a republic in part because the founding fathers didn't trust the common man to decide their own destinies, mostly due to the level of education at the time. So perhaps we've come full circle. There are two schools of thought in a representative government. One, that the elected representatives are "stewards" and are free to decide with their own minds what is best for their constituents. The second is the "direct representation" concept, where the elected official does the will of the people, regardless of what they think. It's fairly easy to tell the two apart.

By the way, if you put it all together, occupying Pakistan makes perfect sense if the government is planning to encircle Russia, which they are. Put it on a map- Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan; they're all on the front porch of Russia. Iraq would make a rather nice deployment hub to push into Russia, even though it's not physically bordering Russia.
