Not sure where I stand on this...this view does come with the assumption that democracy is somehow better than other forms of government, which is subjective at best.

Besides, pragmatically speaking, democracy isnt going to be a major factor in high level inter-state interaction...the British gov ignoring the UN (and the british people to a certain extent) and invading Iraq anyway for example.
