Where I lived before here I was oppressed  as a citizen which, as bad as it is, also makes it easier to escape moral responsibility for the actions of my government toward others in the world. Democracy on the other hand as much as it is better, also brings harder moral responsibility because it is the citizen who is the decision maker at least at the root level. For this reason I, as a citizen here, refuse that my government does the injustice of helping in installing or supporting the continuity of nondemocratic systems anywhere in the world. Furthermore, nondemocratic systems do not have the right to represent their people and therefore dealing with them should be as limited as possible and things should be judged by what we see as good for the people there not what those governments seek. As a citizen here, I want the protection of being on the just side and not only the material protection from the outside.

In addition to the moral obligation to conform to the above, it is much more closer to your identity than printing "In God We Trust" on all paper currency. Is there a better example of a country that was rooted in democracy and still has it ongoing than here? And of course this is also much more on the path to God.
