Democracy is not the only way to govern a nation. But in the end, it does not matter if a country is a democratic nation or not if its not properly managed...

Not really. It would be a country full of people without the right to speak up. It would in a way be like a "1984" situation. The good thing about democracy is that the people have the say (not the final) say but they have a choice of what they would like to see happen.

Lacking Democracy is very different when you compare other countries to the US and it's current state.
We are losing freedoms all the time, at the cost of "security"...
1st link: Bush is working on the North American Union which will erase the US borders as well as merge us with Mexico and Canada. Bush is keeping this really quiet.
2nd link: Thoroughly explains how Bush is being an emperor of the united states, NOT a president
3rd link: "Patriot Act Gives Bush Power to Cancel Elections". (What?! Yep) Most people don't know that when the patriot act was passed, Bush can actually "declare emergency" and that will cancel all elections until he declares that the emergency is resolved. So... WHY do you think everyone is having this "gut feeling" that there's gonna be another terrorist attack on the US before Bush gets out of the white house? It will happen, guaranteed. Hopefully others will be ready to react to this when it happens because we are all in danger from our own government. They will try to cover it up just like 9/11.

There are NO Democracies.
The U.S.A.is a Federal Republic with Democratically elected representatives, or you could say it is a Representative Republic.
I know of NO nation that is a TRUE democracy.
Could you re-phrase the question?

Where is there a demcracy? If you mean by democracy a representative republic then you could say the U.S. Since you didn't say representative republic, I will assume that's what you meant.
A better question would be is the U.S. a democracy. Thanks, I think I will post that.

yeah they have no government or another form like a monarch but a democracy no matter how good is unstable it can be taken down by one person from the inside.

Of course--just look at China--look at all the things they have that we don't:
Political prisoners
Summary executions
Government control of reproduction
sweatshops
hundreds of millions living on less than $1/day
slavery
censorship of the press
