We all know that democracy is a wonderful way of life. Just look at how happy everyone is in the US. And of course the American people want to share their good fortune with the whole world.
Americans take their democracy so seriously they are already campaigning for the leader who will take over in about two years. However, considering the role of the US in leading and policeing the world perhaps it is time we accepted that if the elections for the president of the US are to be truly democratic then surely all of us around the world deserve a vote.
Do you get a vote in the US presidential elections? As an Australian citizen I certainly don't. OK America, you want to give us democracy? Then give us a vote in the election of our leader.
