Democracy

If you, as an American, truly love your preception of pure democracy and are proud of the institution of voting, then how can you tolerate the snubbing of a democratically elected government. How can you allow the will of a people be ignored? How can you say that the voice of a whole nation of people is wrong?

The Palestinian people have spoken on who they want to lead them. Then it is the US duty, as a champion of democracy to work with a popularly elected government, whether you agree or disagree with their stance on a subject.

This is typical of the state controll of our lives and the dictation of what we are to believe. Under socialism, this would not be tolerated and the will of a people would be embraced.

I, persoally, support any and all wills of a people, even if I do not agree with their position, for the people know what they want and if given an honest and fair chance, their will will be done. The key is fair and honest--Americans have neither in their pursuit for democracy.
