Democracies very very rarely go to war with each other.

I think the only case where war was declared is actually Britain declaring war on Finland during WWII, and that never actually came to blows.

I wonder if actually declaring war matters.

I mean, Russia invaded Georgia just a year or two ago...

and they're both... democracies... kinda.

I mean, Russia has kinda backslid on that granted, and actually is considered very corrupt politically... but still kinda a democracy.  People vote for their leaders and such... in elections that don't appear to be rigged.  Just the government goes out of it's way to slant the votes their way.
