If democrats are the devil, then why are we trying to spread democracy, and not republicanism?

My friend, we have been spreading Republicanism in the middle east for years now.
We support dictatorships in Saudi Arabia because our American businesses benefit from it. We support Israel because our American businesses benefit from it. We ignore the plight of the abused because there is not a large enough profit margin in helping these people.

Even though we call it a democracy, the U.S. government, along with any other so-called democracy, is actually a Republic. The definition of a Republic is a system of government in which elected leaders make the decisions. A true democracy would be a system of government in which every single person voted on every single issue. So while we claim to be spreading democracy, we're actually spreading, as you called it, republicanism.
Stinking Republicans!! LOL

Well that's kind of a difficult question because Republicanism and Democracy isn't combatable with monarchs and Islamic rule of the middle east.

If we try to spread Republicanism (if you mean Republican Party Style) throughout the World, the USA will get attacked again!

That's an interesting play on words. The US is a republic with a democratic form of government, a capitalistic economic system, and socialist education policies. I don't know what Iraq will end up being.

I'm going to answer your question seriously, as if you were not making a joke. It sounds to me as if you're joking, but I'm not sure.
There is no such thing as "Republicanism."
There is ALSO no such thing as "Democratism."
The word "Democracy" has nothing to do with the Democratic Party. It is simply a form of government--one in which individuals get to vote for the people who make their laws.

Because most people remember Fascist Nazis and realise Republicans are the same. The world won't put up with your brand of fascism for too long.
