    What popularity poll should we use to determine if a government is supported by the populace? Is 50% a high enough level of support? 75%?

    How can we tell if "the people... understand or appreciate their freedom"?

    Does the US understand or appreciate our freedom? I would argue no.
    Well if we go back on history the majority of the so called "West" has got their democratic Government model after armed conflict,dont you agree? For example in Iran they also have had a succesfull rebellion that resulted in a Islamistic revolution. So if there is such a big will in turning into more free democratic system why isnt there a armed rebellion in Iran at the moment?
    About US understanding and appreciating its freedom,i cant answer becouse im not from US.But i havent heard in news about a large opposition against your Government model.
