I don't why so many people think that democracy equals freedom, equality etc. The true belief of democracy is that the majority rules. Now in the more corrupt countries, I am not going to mentione names, no one cares of what the majority or minority want since only the rich, powerful, elites make the decisions. In general democracy, it means majority rules. 60% rule over 40% so I guess it sucks being of the 40% that don't matter. The first problem with that is that minorities will not have any benefit, rights, etc, but it's what the majority want. So, if the majority want to go to war, the minority don't mean anything. If the majority want higher taxes, that sucks for the minorities. So in the case of Assyrians and all those who ask for democracy, where do we benefit from that? Assyrians are a small minority so that means their demands are not going to matter in first place. So why support such indea? in Iraq the majority happen to be Shiites and since Democracy is supposed to be majority wins, how did Talabani become president? Shiites make 65% of the Iraqi poulation, and if they wanted a government of their desires they would get it according to real democracy.

Since the majority rules, Shiites would be running Iraq right now according to democracy, but they are not. So, there are two problems with democracy when one really thinks of it. Firstly, it is for the majority according to the book. The majority rules over the minority and if any one is a minority sucks for that person, or as they say "love it or leave it". Secondly, if it is supposed to be majority rules, why is America at war with Iraq when over 70% of the people do not approve of it. What happened to the majority rule thought? if majority rules, why is Talabani the president when the Shiites are the majority. Even if a quarter of the Shiite population would vote, they would get what they want, but instead America hand picked the president of Iraq.

In the end, it is fair to say that domcracy is the worse form of government there is and it is a hypocricy. Majority gets to rule over minority and in that case the little people have no say or protection. On the other hand, the majority don't matter either since it is a few elites that make the decisions and the rest are just slaves. If democracy was so good after all, America would not have invaded Iraq since the majority did not agree. Bush would not be president since the majority did not vote for him. In that case, democracy is not fair to even the majority. Toward the end we should never hope for such government and believe it or not Assyrians were better off under Saddam Hussein. I am not a Saddam fan, but he proved a lot better than any of the Iraqi government since the day the British invented Iraq. At least he kept the population from fighting one another. Something that no one else is capable of doing, and he warned the Iraqi people against these foreigners who claim they want Iraq to benefit. They only want oil and bring the new world order to Iraq. It's all to serve the desires of the Zionists.

Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez all know about this hypocricy and people in those country have more freedom than in so called democracies. At least a 50 year old don't have to go out and equally compete with a 20 year old for a job. They get free health care, free college and in Venezuela people can criticize their government something that is forbidden in some countries. In the U.S, one can't even question who really runs everything. If one even questions, he or she is automatically labeled as anti Semitic, yet being anti Zionist is not the same as anti Semitic. Real Jews don't like zionist I guess that makes those Jews anti Semitic as well.

I would never encourage any one to cheer or clap when hearing democracy, but should look up to Chavez and others. Assyrians will never get any recognition from crying "persecution" and "we want our own country" hiding under the Assyrian name and hoping democracy will bring that. How come democracies haven't brought that to the African Americans, the Natives, the Abiregenes or all the others who been persecuted, and I mean really been persecuted? It don't work that way and Justice is not given in the so called democratic countries.
