Bush sucked. He was an idiot but i commend him on seemingly standing up for what he believed, wether it was retarded. Its a trait that is disappearing these days, especially in design with design by committee. No ones wants to voice what they think they want to fit in...see design related thread!
On your last paragraph ". And especially in a democracy, that will lean in the direction of providing a better standard of living, and better human rights, because that's what people want." The question is who decides those rights and gets them. Or who decides standard of living. Say a corporation buys out congress to vote to make sure employees cant ask for raises. Or unions cut deals and gov says ok. The standard of living is raised for people at the cost of screwing a few. It gets really rough when the wants of the majority fuck the minority. Leading to the ridiculous mob rule, and the king is dead long live the king mentality.
You don't have to agree with me jsut think about, make up situations in your head to test the theories, place yourself in other situations and check your feelings. Run the logic out and play with it for awhile. Have fun with it, run new scenarios, variables and jsut do your own check and measures honestly.
