You're right the US is not a Democracy, we are a Republic and the election was held properly according to the laws in effect at the time of the election.
You must have spent a lot of time in our country. I've lived here over 50 years and haven't seen any country side that looks like a poor South American country. Maybe I've just been lucky.
PS-Europeans may think Bush is a moron but he was smart enough to get elected President of the most powerful country in the world. Would he have been smarter if he were elected Prime Minister of Sweden?
I've heard alot of US politicians/millitary ppl say: "We must defend democracy" and such. If they weren't talking about the US maybe you know what democracy they were talking about?
Your question wether Bush would have been smarter if he was Swedish or not is irrelevant - since I was talking about PROPAGANDA. But I bet that swedish propaganda would have made Bush looked smarter if he was a Swedish minister.
I would also like to comment your statement: "...the election was held properly according to the laws in effect at the time of the election."
It shows us what kind of laws are in effect in your country. I want nothing to do with those laws, but unfortunantly I have no choice since the "too big corporations" are in power today.
And they really like that kind of UNCULTIVATED law.
Is there any culture, in the US, that doesn't bring any money? Except for a few idealists I don't think I've seen any.
