Although a number of societies have practiced some form of democracy, the concept as it is understood today was invented in ancient [[Athens]], where citizens (not women or slaves) were allowed to vote in the Assembly which made the laws of the city-state.

Some, such as [[George W. Bush]], have made the claim that 'everyone wants democracy'. He apparently does not understand that the Sunni muslims, in the minority in Iraq, do not want to be ruled by the Shia muslims, who are the majority and who want to kill them. This is, hopefully, an isolated act of idiocy.
