The Right of the People vs the Judiciary

             I always thought and believe that the practice of Democracy is rightly expressed as government for the people, by the people, of the people.. not necessary in that order. Over the years I have however been observing behaviors in these United States and elsewhere which do not seem consistent with this belief or axiom. The United States seem proud of its system of Democracy and sets out to propagate it throughout the world even to places and civilization far older and more experienced in the practice than they are.
We continue to hear pronouncements that when there is an issue in which there is disagreement of any kind...'let the people decide' In effect let the will of the people be the prevail.(The will of the people)?.So we have all over the world the will of the people is being exercised in deciding to change a government and 'elect ' the government it wants. They can do this by collective action  (violently) or through the ballot box. The first focus of the American Declearation of Independence of the --------- states:
              that :mankind is imbued with certain inalienable rights among them being the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". This Declearation  asserts that:
          "to secure these rights Governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed., that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organising its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness".

So we get as a demonstration of these principles  the holding of elections where the people decide on their representatives in every area of the nation's activities So- called 'democratic principles' tend to pervade all group activity in an out of the boardroom, from the smallest enclave to the largest grouping. Some countries have practiced some or all these principles for hundreds of years even before the US was born. The US is not the oldest Democracy nor is it the smartest. However there is the prevailing tendency by some 'high up types in the US administration who believe that its brand of democracy can be applied to all countries regardless of their historical, cultural and socio-economic experiences. According to one comedian 'you can't go around trying to force US democratic principles on other countries all willly-nilly'. they do not have confidence in their own democratic practices. at the lowest level where the government of the people begins.

So why when the people vote in favor of or against an issue a move is made to the courts to overturn..the will of the people. Put it on the ballot they say and let the people decide---- is this a joke. one remembers prop 8 in California, Bloomberg ignoring 'the will of the people' who twice voted in favor of term limits to manipulate the council so that he can bypass this 'will.'
Why then does the US try to impose its will on the government of other countries rather than leaving it the 'will' of the people in their particular countries. If they do not like a leader or a leader is not jumping to their music then their destabilation machine kicks in and undermines it until they get their way They impose restricions, embargoes and threaten anyone who dare to exercise their independence/sovernity to go against these restrictions. After forty six years of trade embargo how is Cuba  and the Cuban people a threat to the US? Why not let the Cuban people decide.. which they did during the 'Bayof Pigs'.
