- if "well intentioned democracies" exists, then ill intentioned democracies must also exist, which means that democracy isn't a value per se.
So, why are you using "democracy" as an absolute value if you can change it's features?

Yes, is the answer to your first question. History has shown that you would stand idly by. Kosovo is a prime example with out our leadership you would have let the genocide continue. Perhaps you should be equally as critical of the US for our intervention in your back yard. Further, we have seen other cases where the very word genocide was not used in order to avoid the necessity for force. The truth is that you have and will give up one another to protect your own skin. Honestly it often seems that the British are the only one among you who will stand on principal.
In answer to your second question. Yes, you have two premises and a conclusion thus a logical argument. I know you are an ESL guy so just add the conjunction ‘and’ to the sentence so that we can avoid this fallacy.
