Is Pakistan a democracy? Is Kuwait? Both help us tremendously. Menwhile, democratic France and India do littel to help us and soemtimes frustrate our ambitions.

Democracy is overrated, especially as regards our allies. And our culture is bigger than how we pick our President and laws, wouldn’t you say? Does the jury trial, Shakespeare, the Catholic Church, capitalism, property rights, etc. have anything to do with Democracy? Not really.

Your observations are so predictable and straight out of LGF. How’s that democracy working out for Lebanon, where Hezbollah was picked democratically?

What? What are you talking about? Have you ever heard of a little thing called Democracy? What does support of Israel have to do with them being a Jewish State? The US doesn’t support Israel because they’re Jews. The US supports Israel because Israel is a stable democracy. In fact, if you look at a map, it’s the only democracy of any kind for miles and miles and miles around it. To boot, Israel was born a democracy and did not require invasion and conversion. There are endless strategic and political reasons for the US/Israel alliance beyond the fact that a bunch of Jews live there.
