Is this a true statement? Discuss!
That's because the winner (when a democracy) will say the other was no longer a democracy AND because democracies are reluctant to call their activities war.
Germany elected Hitler. Japan elected its parliament. Russia and Georgia fight. There are plenty more... most of the time, the democracy will be corrupt or the country wasn't ready for democracy.
That's what happens when you buy or trade your way up the civilization development tree...
Can they really be called democracy? I think it is imperative that they are, so that we can learn from mistakes.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Are we talking about full democracies? Because the war of 1812 would basically qualify, though Britain's system was not very representative

See what Steven says above. Internationally Russia's system isn't really considered a democracy anymore due to Russia's "massaging" of votes and actually having a more politically corrupt system then georgia. Who had a problem with it but have straightened out.
One of the definitions of a democracies internationally is to have fair elections.
After all.... Sadam Hussein and Castro both get elected too.
There are a bunch of wars that could legitamitly qualify though.
