- The FAINTEST Idea
You're switching subjects to the war in Iraq once again. It seems that all these discussions end up bashing George Bush and our war policy. Can we keep this one on track?
With respect to a democracy....yes, the people have the right to choose via elections the system they want. However, the United States is a nation of LAWS - founded on the Rule of Law tradition. That puts our democracy in a box - namely the US Constitution, which is the Supreme Law in the Land.
Since the Constitution respects property rights (the basis of capitalism), you would have to change the Constitution in order to replace our capitalist system with socialism.
