It is true that monarchy is not appropriate for our nation. That does not mean it is not appropriate for other nations, such as Iran, and we have recognized in the past that other nations may need kings. Putting the Shah in power was a great both for our interests and for the Iranian people. Too bad that idiot Carter abandoned him to the Soviet-backed Islamists.
Yes, and that is the crux of the discussion on this thread, that democracy alone is not sufficient, but a Constitutional limited government which identifies inalienable rights, with limits on power, is necessary. The preference for a changeover of leadership which is instituted by our Constitution, recognizes the innate tendencies of human beings to retain power, ala FDR who did not recognize the precedent set by Washington.
