You will find that there are many forms of democracy around the world, and many
would argue that they are freer then in the American system.
Despite what a lot of Americans believe theirs was not the first democracy, and
not the model of democracy everyone wants to follow. It's *some* Americans
mentality that "we are the best & everyone wants to be like us" that gives
people the wrong impression. I like Americans, and call many of them friends,
but I certainly don't envy them or strive to be like them.
Sorry for the lecture, but I had some time to waste.
(I also apologize if you were referring to all of the allied nations when you
mentioned "our freer system of government".
