We, the People....You, the Congress

Before promoting more democracy abroad, and wasting $ billions to create more enemies, let's make the system works at home. Before degrading certain dictatorships ( Cuba, North Korea ), but ignoring others (Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Kazakhstan), let's learn to respect the elected leaders of democratic countries (Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Nicaragua, Bolivia).
We dare thinking to impose abroad the values of democracy, but we can not demonstrate a flawless election system (having all the votes counted, and having a President elected by a Secretary of State and five judges).
In addition, we display the dangers of democracy. (See our article "How to promote democracy", part 1, September, about having a dictator in a democratic system).
Last August, 740 readers of New York Times, whose judgment and knowledge, are surely as good as the elected members of the Congress (diplomatically writing), have expressed their opinions about the US-Cuba relations.
A great, great majority of them, 91%, were favourable to Cuba and/or blaming various US administrations.
Among the 66 respondents with a negative attitude towards Cuba or Castro, several of them were out of touch with reality and facts. Example: a few wrote that the day Cuba will be liberated, international tourists will be able to visit the Island. They surely are not yet aware that their ex-country is receiving more two million tourists per year, who have the freedom to go anywhere, without showing their ID.
We recognize that our survey is not scientific, but, we firmly believe it is as good as various polls from certain bias media. Definitely, it is a striking disclosure of the American public opinion, at large. The New Congress should take note, but, most importantly, take action, now.
The will of the many should prevail over the will of the few, especially when the few represents one third of one percent of the population. One way to promote democracy: respect the will of the people, here and abroad.
