America's Bogus Rhetoric for Playing World Police Force: Democracy Delivered by an Oligarchy

Does anyone find it funny, that with every police action around the world (war) that America engages in, the rhetoric of the 'democracy' is always accompanied with the feel good rhetoric of spreading democracy around the world. No matter how many bombs we drop in Libya, the will be blow up with the promise of democracy. Why is that? I believe it is feel-good pathos to cover up the real self-serving reasons that our government would rather us not know.

Have you considered our federal government is not nor has it ever been a democracy. It's a republic. So why is it we don't spread republicanism ideas with the bombs we drop? Why do we push a form of government our founding fathers knew would fail. Is it to establish temporary order with a feel good word while our interests are maintained through occupation? Just curious.

With last week's attack on Libya, I grow further concerned with the idea we look more like an aggressor delivered with this promise of democracy that we don't even celebrate in our our country. As this video points out, democracy is not a stable form of government and it eventually leads to an oligarchy, ruled by the elite. Perhaps, even though our Constitution states we are a republic, which Benjamin Franklin with concern once told a woman after ratification, we have a republic if you can keep it, that we have strayed far away from the foundation of the republicanism form of government and tricked ourselves into believing we are a democracy as we slowly become an oligarchy, which this war in Libya displays.



Obama didn't consult with the representatives of the American people with his decision to attack Libya, which is your first sign that we aren't following the laws which is essential in a Republic. Rather, he met with a close group of elite men, who represent the oligarchy. There is no democracy, and yet the promise of democracy is once again delivered with each bomb launched. When you think about it, it's quite sad.
