DEMOCRACY AS NEOCON DOUBLE SPEAK?

How does "democracy" solve the issue of a Palestinian state? Democacy can be "mob rule." The US "founding fathers" knew this and so did the 20th Century fascists.

Democacy seems like a "nice diversion" while more settlements are built on the West Bank.... So those "opposed to West Bank settlements" can also be cast as being "anti-democracy?"

Perhaps a little Orwellian double speak going on here...?

And worse, what if we get a bunch of democracies that STILL want a Palestinian state on the West Bank....and not in Jordan or Gaza as the Sharonists hope?

Are all democracies by definition pro-Bush? And if they aren't do we simply "democratize'" them again, until they are?
