This is a very interesting statement displaying one hard leaning in democracy: acting on their government comes last.

Reading democracy from the papers leads to think that people are evoluating independently and have by no way an obligation to justify their personal motivations to other equal in status people.
But, definitively, the government has a duty to justify its motivations and a democratic person to ask the justication of those motivations.

A blatant example of the opposite situation.
