to his credit imho mccain has proposed that an international organization of democracies be created. I think the founding members would be countries of north america and europe.

the downside however would be that soon enough countries like venezuela iran and egypt would apply for membership. don’t these countries have elections?

after all,how do you define a democracy.

In the usa something like 80 percent of the people think the USA is on the wrong path. There are a dozen or more policies from the homosexual agenda to border policies which 70% or more of american people oppose but the super elites in the USA support. You could probably get the same kind of numbers out of North Korea of elite vs popular opinion. and yet the USA is considered to be a democracy and north korea is considered to be dictatorship.
