The word "democracy" originated from the ancient Greek word "demos"
that means "oil pipeline."

I don't know about democracy, but maybe it applies to tyranny,
autocracy and plutocracy.

Or possibly neccesity. It is necessary that the first world retains
first world status.

Actually, it comes from the Russian word for "drink lots
of alternative fuels". Anyway, Georgia's impalement by
an oil pipeline certainly explains Vlad's interest, doesn't
it? It's bad enough having all these orange revolutions
taking down autocracy in the other former Soviet republics,
but when they have the means to prosperity, that's even
worse. And just as Vlad is impaling his way back to
Stalin chic.
