Which western democracy are we talking about? The western democracy that spies on it's citizens, uses drones to execute without due process those it accuses of being terrorists and arbitrarily suspends certain citizens' rights and sends them into prison camps indefinitely; that invades and overthrows foreign governments that don't do as they're told to or just happen to have resources it needs.
