As Nelson Mandela leaves politics

"We watch as two of the leading democracies, two leading nations of the free world, get involved in a war that the United Nations did not sanction," Mandela said, adding that the world had been horrified by reports of torture of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. and British forces.

"We see how the powerful countries, all of them so-called democracies, manipulate multilateral bodies to the great disadvantage and suffering of the poorer developing nations."

"So-called democracies." Not merely satisfied to manipulate multilateral bodies, but actively interfering in actual democracies the world over to overthrow democratically elected leaders and replace them with more so-called democracies. And puppet versions at that.
