The Americans' position is clear: we promote democracy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Democracy makes us articulate our views, defend them, and refine them.
As citizens of the United States, we are stewards of this magnificent thing called democracy.
But at the same time, I think we recognize we can't impose democracy from without, particularly American-style democracy. We need to work with those elements in the region that are moving towards a reformed process and there are a number of them.
We Americans have the great gifts of freedom and democracy, but it has been our education system that has fulfilled the promise of democracy.
I think, as a general matter, clearly, the United States globally supports the development of democracy and the democratic yearnings of all people.
Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.
America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.
Mr. Speaker, democracy works best when the American electorate is engaged and informed.
The American people need to know the truth. The American people need to see the truth. In a democracy, letting the people know the truth is the essence of what it means to be free.
When we say 'democracy' we have to mean what we say.
