Bush's Vision of Democracy

George W. should have read his history books when he was in school, he might have learned that Democracy did not automatically mean Peace and Freedom. The Greeks, the first to embrace Democracy, warred amongst themselves and didn't like Free Thought--look what happened to poor old Socrates. The Romans had representative government then opted for Dictatorship, and certainly weren't a peaceful lot. So where does he get his Simple Simon version of Democracy? Then there is his own brand of governance--continually flanking the democratic process by so-called "Presidential Dictates", powers that don't exist and aren't being challenged by the other branches of government. Of course, he knows better than anyone else what needs to be done. Hail Caesar!
