Our fabulous non-democracy

" President Barack Obama declared Wednesday he would try to block the court-ordered release of photos showing U.S. troops abusing prisoners, abruptly reversing his position out of concern the pictures would "further inflame anti-American opinion" and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan."

This proves there is no democracy in this country. In what kind of democracy can a president block a court-order? The whole point of the judiciary system is to be the decider of right and wrong. If the president can just over ride them, then what's their point? This is a major problem for a country that claims to be a "democracy" and wants to spread this "democracy" across the world.
