    american democracy is older than europe: Clinton

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/0...clinton_gaffes

    "It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy."


    title should say european democracy, sorry..

                                      They may of had elected officials but still were governed by kings.

                                          fisrt democracy was in Athens around 500BC and there was no king
                                          also democracy is a greek word.

                                              from what i remember, they had elected officials by the 6th century bc, to avoid aristocracy

                                                      i dont see anything wrong with that statement.
                                                      US is the oldest modern world democracy, simple as that.
                                                      Europeans can argue all they want, the fact remains 2000 years passed before european countries became democracies again.

                                                                                  Having an elite who are allowed to vote is not really a democracy. IMHO.

                                                                                  Look at the recent US Presidents to see what Americans have done with democracy.
                                                                                  The US is a Representative Republic not a democracy
                                                                                  .
