So, logically speaking, you are saying that the U.S. federal government is worse than the monarchy we lived under until the American Revolution. Or, better yet, the occupation governments in Germany and Japan were worse than what preceded them?
Governments have problems because people are not perfect, that's a given. But, they're necessary, and we as voters are responsible for keeping them relatively honest.

I am not an expert in prophecy and i was not very clear as well. The prophcey had to do with 4 recognized world type goverments....Nebeecanezar's....which was associated with Gold....the finest/best.....then 2 more goverments......and if you believe in prophecy.....the final world type goverment....associated with iron and clay which is not very strong. I know i am not being real clear as to my discription but think of it this way....A goverment run by ONE truely Godly man would be the best form of goverment....which is what Neb's goverment became due to his acceptance of God thru Daniel's witness to him. Of course it was not to last because either the man or his succcessors are not perfect and due to man's falible nature will allow greed, corruption, etc... to move in. As for our democracy....due to it's being founded on God (regardless of what the librals say) it started off strong....but it is inherently week. Look at what we are as opposed to 200 years ago.....you may feel that as a voter you can keep them honest but i harbor no such illusion. As for your examples of japan, germany etc... they were one nation goverments and were not, a part of the prophecy that was being shown to neb. Again i was not clear in my statement that EACH succesive goverment would be worse than the last.
