Agreed. That "mileage" may vary due to the example set by those countries that claim to be democratic but carry on as fascists.

Much of the Arab population of the world are anti-democratic because they see the treacherous deeds commited by the U.S. (self-proclaimed "leader of democracy") and they're left thinking ... "If that's what democracy is then I want nothing to do with it".

I think what you wrote about "democracy and unstable societies" applies very well here. The U.S. is such an extremely unstable democracy that its' democratic principles are dubious to say the least.
