Quotes: Agree or Disagree III
 
America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

- George W. Bush

You looking for a fight, Bond? Cause you're trying to start one. :D

All I'll say is this:

Sure, America's "mission" is Democracy, but you try to uphold it worldwide by trying to expand your empire and domination - and ironically enough, you try to spread Democracy (in which it's wrong to push your views on other nations) while practically being a Republic.

Its not practically a Republic, it is a Republic. A Democratic Republic, technically I believe.

So then it's practically a Republic.
Since it is a Democratic Republic, it's not a Republic.
It's a Democratic Republic, meaning it's still a Democracy, but practically a Republic.

Semantics are fun.

There are not enough :roll eyes: emoticons to capture the level of sarcasm I wish to express after reading that post. ;)
