We're standing on a precipice and what's in the balance is democracy itself.  The west has got involved in countries, trying to bring democracy to places that were not ready for it and should never have had it. Not only has that failed miserably, but they are demonstrating, to the whole World, that democracy; in their own countries, is less than perfect. It would appear that it now means that it's a wonderful form of governance, as long as you get what you want; what the majority want, is of secondary importance...........great example !!!

The American people were sick of lying, scheming, corrupt, politicians and their answer was to elect a businessman as president. So far, if you ask those that voted for him, they are perfectly happy with what they got; because he's doing exactly what he said he'd do. As for the establishment, obviously they are going to fight for their very existence; whether the people want them or not..........and THAT is what happens when you hand power over to others and get complacent / apathetic..........and then try to take it back. If it rings a bell regarding this country...........so it should !!!
