"Democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried."Winston Churchill said after the British people voted him out of his position as Prime Minister within months of winning the Second World War. Britain, in its colonial years, and later the United States have used democracy, or the lack of it, as an alibi to enforce their interests around the globe. Countries have been attacked and millions killed "to bring democracy to the people," and undemocratic and corrupt allies have been called democracies that need to be protected.
