Firstly, the United States is hardly a Democracy; it's a consitutional republic. I don't think a \"pure\" democractic government is pratical (Locke inquired into that a while back).
Why are we hunted? Easy! Islam is now seen as the \"new\" world threat. Like Communism of old, Islam is not looking down at the barrel of the \"US\" gun. Personally, it's a hubris form of fear that the west has upon the Islamic world. Take some of the nit-pick events in the news and tell me if it's not fear.
