The "peoples" voice, such as in Nepal? Maoism is not the answer to autocracy. I hope that some day Burma has a proper government... but democracies are unpredictable!

Whats sauce for the goose is not always so for the gander!

One can't selectively promote Democracy where one fancies that the people are on one's side. I believe that if the actions of India or the USA hurt the interests of the majority of the people in a particular country, then they have every right to be angry with the perpetrator.

This is the reason we need democracies, not just to ensure that the democratic country's majority prosper, but also to ensure that we periodically check our behaviour and correct ourselves.

We may however pursue our nation's self interest at the end overriding concerns of such countries as is the case in Palestine. If a majority of the people want terrorists for leaders, then the rest of the world can shun them.
