and yet this military coup , or stratocracy long active behind the scenes , has been summarily condemned by america and the world community as though any sick democracy that is active , when common sense would suggest it should be forced to lie down in quarantine , is better than none at all ; that there are no countries with radicalized religious elements predominate in the entire populace -- countries to which it would not be in the worlds best interest to allow them to become democracies ; that there has never been cogent and emotive declamation in ancient athens in their pure democracy and for us in our own impure ones that has altered this experiment into dangerous demagoguery of the worst and most beguiling kind by stroking sentiments of patriotism and prejudices as attested most horrendously early on in the athenians reaction to the alleged disloyalty of mytilene of lesbos during the peloponnesian war ; 97that a tyrannical force would not be necessary to abrogate the right to bear arms in countries to which guns are legal and the countries spiraling into ever worsening violence with every year that passes ; that no decisions were ever made for the popularity and the good of political careers , and that all laws and their execution are done for that which is right for the long-term good of a given country ; or that there are never scenarios in which a military should protect its citizens from a democracy .
