Isn’t it strange that they promote democracy in those countries but never constitutional republics like ours?

That’s a good observation. As much as democratists claim to respect backward peoples, they promote nothing more then a democratic ballot, nothing like our elegant constitutional system of checks and balances. That is subtly condescending on their part. Or perhaps it isn’t condescending... if they themselves dislike our elegant system of checks and balances.
