Democracies: The real Definition

So we have been seeing many news stories with information on the Ukraine claiming that President Victor Yanukovych is a dictator.  Furthermore, we are seeing democratic countries rooting for the people to overthrow him like last time in 2004, but he was reelected in 2010 then disposed again.  However, doesn't this sound familiar?  Egypt was a big problem, the people overthrew President Musharraf then elected another dictator who was part of the extremist sect of the Islamic Brotherhood.  

I think that countries need to be ready for their own free governments.  No other countries should force the people to overthrow their authoritarian government because if they are not prepared then the new government will fail to be created or if it is created it will fail.  The United States is notorious for pushing others to create democracies.

Now lets get to the lovely word of democracies.  The United States is not a democracy, the European countries are not democracies, and none of the governments who claim to be democracies are democracies because they are all  representational governments.  Representational governments are those governments who represent the people and allow for different representations of the population.  For instance, like Democrats and Republicans.  If the government was a democracy then majority rules.  The majority will make the decisions for everyone.  Just imagine if we had a democratic government then we would have Californians and New Yorkers determining our lives.
