democracy of the people, by the people, for the people?

what happened in Egypt today really tells about democracy. Government in democracy is not about 'of the people, by the people, for the people (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). The man threw those words during war, for heaven sake. Today, it is not about rule of law, people respecting law and other rhetoric words that come out from the powerful one (I'm also looking at you, Uncle Sam). Democracy today means 'electing leader by means of arm who is endorsed by some other powerful one through the the voting process'. The consequence is simple, for those elected leaders but unwanted by the powerful one, remove them by arm, redo the orchestrated election and back the newly elected leaders using arm. Truly world is govern by certain powerful one.
