DEMOCRACY IS MORE THEORETICAL, PRACTICALLY IT SPELLS DISASTER

The United States is not a pure Democracy. It is to big to be a Democracy and to many of the people are to ill informed to be good voters. The United States is actually a Democratic Republic. So in all actuality the U.S., in theory, is based on the Democratic ideals, but the framers of the constitution realized that it would be a disaster to be a pure Democracy. The U.S. does not go to countries to make them democratic, they go to other countries to stop mass killings and civil rights violations, then they let those that informed them that they have the will to lead in a civil rights based fashion take over.

While I agree with the first part of the statement in the title that often democracy in democratic states is often more theoretical than real I am much less sure about the second. Why should democracy if implemented spell disaster. Countries that are democracies today do not seem to face disaster because, moreover if we limit it to countries that are purer democracies that have direct democracy then they tend to be more stable such as Switzerland rather than less.
