Reply #9: Inherent Problem With Democracies Is People Elect Who They Want [View All]

Not necessarily the person who is best for the job.

Look at what is happening in Iraq, if the election were totally free of US influence there is no question that Iraq would elect all Islamic Religious figures by a wide majority, and it would look almost identical to Iran.

This is true even though others would bring more freedom and rights to the people.

but you cannot force citizens of a democracy to vote for the best candidate -- Exhibit A is Bush.
