Democracy is a sweet sounding

Democracy is a sweet sounding word. Western world has that for thousands of years. It's practically in their bone. In the East most people don't know what that means. The country I came from probably is the most "democratic" country. Every citizen can practically "say" anything as long as that suits their fancy.

She is doing more harm than good to her country. She has been used and on her own consent.
