So, genocide and war crimes are aceptable, if they save a few lives. 
Muytilating future generations are acceptable, if those responsible are 
on the "winning" side. It's obvious you have no conscience. No doubt, 
you approve also of the holocausts, going back to the middle ages, and 
Criomwell's policy, of "If they do not surrender when we breach the 
walls, kil every living thing inside". You no doubt, supported the Me 
Lai massacre. That probably saved a soldier's life. Think of all those 
children, yet to be conceived, who might not like the USA. Whoop-de-do.

Nothing to do with democracy. Check your dictionary. I assume that you 
have one, and can use one?

It is nothing to do with democarcy.

Check your dictionary.

Democracy = government by the people.

The australian feral government has already done that. "Let the aussies 
die. It is more fun to kill arabs, than to save burning aussies." - 
Feral government policy.

You might not like it, but if its legal in that country, then it's 
legal.

We have yet to get democracy in Australia. Those who try, get 
imprisoned.

Yes, CALM; the Commission of Arson and Land Mutilation, responsible for 
a significant number of bushfires in this state, and much respiratory 
illness, including assaulting asthmatics.

"Expert = drip under pressure". We all know that.

Nothing to do with each other.
