If the western powers were really so keen on the rpinciple of democracy they would strengthen it and allow people to vote on every issue. The technology exists to do that, but that would actually mean giving power to the people and the politicians want it for themselves.
The truth is that democracy as practiced today is a sham, given the air of legitimacy by worldwide respect for a principle that is being corrupted and spat upon by 'democratic' governments. You may as well go for an elective dictatorship, just about as democratic and far more effective.

so you're advocating an end to liberalism then, because that's what that kind of democracy would mean.
not saying that's wrong by the way, just seeking to clarify.
i personally feel that all the many reasons to fear democracy might come true there.
