Dual Monarchy or Democracy?
If by democracy you mean the administration of society by the people who compose it, then by definition all governments are anti-democratic. But politicians have a way of twisting words. For all practical purposes, the word "democracy" in their lexicons can be interpreted as "any government which agrees with the policies of the United States, no matter what form it takes". For example, when they say they want to bring "democracy" to the Middle East, what they mean is getting rid of governments they don't like (Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, etc), then replacing them with more pro-US governments, even if like in the new Islamic Republic of Afghanistan it's still just a theocracy. And horribly oppressive régimes like Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are allowed to stand so long as they cooperate.
