In which country you live ? So many countries do this to stop their people from being resent, or hide the truth, or keep them away from democratic atmosphere. There is one easy way to get access to the sites which are banned by your government and that is satelite phone or purchase cellphone card of some other country and using that get connected to internet.

I believe that most Americans are under the illusion that they truly have free speech, true democracy. etc..   Compare the actions of previous actions of dominant empires throughout history.  Have we transformed or are Americans fooled by a cleaver rouse.

I honestly believe that democracy does not work in all parts of the world. China would fail if democracy ever happened there. China is a country that has deep traditions, and for that reason China will never be a democracy. On top of that they saw what democracy did for Russia.

It does perturb me that the government is keeping secrets involving human rights abuses, especially if the government is violating the civil liberties of its own citizenry under the pretext of national security.  After all, most dictatorial regimes started with the slow and increasing curtailing of civil rights among their own population.\n\nI understand certain locations and points of interest cannot be divulged to the public out of a need to preserve the strategic integrity of clandestine efforts, but to not at least inform the public in a general way of the machinations of this government is disturbing.

If the truth be told - there is no such thing as 'democracy' for all, and there never will be.\nSociety needs rules, the moment you have rules, you interfere with someones freedom - that is not democratic.

Egypt,Turkey,Iran,Pakistan are democratic countries. In no two countries the democratic practices are exactly similar.In Europe, there are democracies with Sovereign Monarchs,for example.

Listen up, you are all naive individuals who have no clue of current events outside your country. You ONLY rely and depend on your newspaper or TV. You need to get your @sses in these places and find the truth your self. Just because somebody (government) tells you something DOES NOT mean it is true. Idiots.

I am with you all the way. One of my favorite jokes is "how can you tell if a politician is lying...Watch his lips move" The government can pretty much do as they want but let a normal American citizen try some of that stuff and watch what happens. We have no privacy and Democracy is a joke anymore...

Some people might argue that true democracy is taking root in many places world wide, while others say that it is merely on the surface, and our current "democracies" are really just oligarchies masquerading as republican forms of government.  I do believe, however, that true democracy exists - otherwise, for example, how could a terrorist group like Hamas become the elected majority in the Palestinian government?  Only the wishes of the radicalized Palestinians could have made that happen, and I haven't heard any charges of corruption in regards to that particular election.  Look at Ukraine in 2004, the so-called "Orange Revolution" where the dictatorial government there was ousted after a successfully contested election.  Democracy can prevail.
