No; the USA is not and never has been a democracy which is good since there has never been a large democracy that has worked or had longetivity. The USA is a democratic republic. With a democracy, one gets tyranny of the majority and large minorities would have no say in things leaving their only resort to be rebellion.

When did Americans vote against war?
I'd rather fight terrorism over there. Rather than on the streets of the USA. If liberals get their wish and we pull out of Iraq. Wait and see how long it takes before we are attached here at home again!
Guess you forgot about 9/11 already....it was five years ago.

How do you figure America voted against the war? Just because some don't like it doesn't mean it was voted against as it never came up in a vote. As for democrats it seems like each day the noose gets tighter as they are hanging themselves for sure for the 2008 elections!

The USA is not a democracy it is a republic!
I have looked at several of your questions and they make it obvious that you do not like America! Why do you continue to live here?

It's representative democracy in action (inaction!), yes. Representatives are not required to keep campaign promises, nor to respond to the concerns expressed by thier constituents. They can 'vote their conscience' - though, of course, there may be repurcussions come next election.
