I find myself in complete agreement with these remarks made by Joe Brennan

<<can anyone say that
an imperialist like Churchill was democratic towards India, or other British
colonies?  the US itself is about 15 or 20 parties short of being
democratic.
  . . . words like "democratic" are highly suspect, especially when used to
bash one's opponents
-- like Eliot Abrams or Oliver North during the 70's, or Bill Clinton & Tony
Blair during the bombing of Serbia.>>

These particular phrases hit the nail on the head.
