This is exactly the reason for the Soviet invasions in Hungary, 
Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall, the situation in Poland,
etc.  Do you feel that the opinion of those people are immaterial
too if THEIR BIG BROTHER has a different opinion.

The USA and the USSR are too intelligent to fight each other directly
(we all know what that would mean), but they love to fight each other
in other parts of the world, to support their military industries
(test the new weapons in combat).  And their voters seems to like
these Rambo-manners, so why should they stop ?

And about democraty: a system where the people elect their dictator.
Once he (or she) is elected, they can do whatever they want - bomb
another country, push the button (from the secure shelter), read
the FN charther as the devil reads the bible, ...

We start bombing in five minutes!
