My question is why do people always say that the U.S. was founded on democracy?
When you really think about how this country was founded, you'll realize that we really founded it on war, because it took war to gain our land from Great Brittan, France, Spain, and the Native Americans. We also used it to get the Confederates to demolish slavery, and George W. Bush started the war in Iraq too. We would've gotten along with the entire world peacefully if we wouldn't start so many wars, or used them to gain things that we didn't or don't need. We only use democracy for elections and political crap. We didn't use it when we drove the Native Americans from their homes, or when we wanted to 'free' ourselves from Brittan.
What I'm trying to say is that, if we didn't want so much that we don't have, we're just going to end up with more war.
