I believe that democracy was born in the interest of the majority. This caused less internal friction and a more peaceful society. Recent history has shown us again, i.e. Bush & Middle East, how the President of the US has an immediate influence on world peace in other global regions. Perception is that the action of the president doesn’t always represent the US voters (reason for the quick succession of presidents?).
In the interest of world peace and the advancement of democratic systems, I suggest that a certain percentage of the votes for the US presidency should include the global international community. As in ancient Greece, the mechanics of democracy might result in a more peaceful global community. I think this is the real dream of all US citizens, but the US government prefer things volatile, for it is good for business, good for politics and makes them feel needed.
