For one thing we do not live in a democracy nor are we living in a constitutional republic. The checks and balances are not in place nor have they been for a very long time, if ever.

Your ignorance of history is astouding. Maybe you ought to go back to
say 1900 and look at the efforts to colonize and control the middle east by western powers, specifically Brittain and France. Do you think the people of the middle east do not have a right to self determination? Do you think that a century of support for puppet dictators in the middle east by western capital is something that should be ignored? Do you honestly think that the invasion of Iraq has anything at all do with installing "democracy" in that country? You are very naive indeed.

Meanwhile, back here in reality, the U.S. is being turned into a police state. Take a look at what happens when regular citizens that disagree with policies such as the FTAA try to speak truth to power. They are beat, gassed, and jailed. Why? Because the corporate powers have an agenda and they will see that agenda continue even if it means fascism overt or in a velvet glove.
