It's amusing that people care because the US has never really been a Democracy. There are democratic elements, but overall the original colonists (except for New Englanders) were horrified at the idea of letting "the people" anywhere near the levers of power...much less voting.

In most cases you get The Taliban, whatever the post-Mubarak government was, or ineffective governments that can't even wipe their own assholes (Latin America, Africa, Haiti).
