I was just wondering this and wanted to see if anyone knew the answer, because I don't see how this could be.
I would say the country I am in is part of this "free world". But I didn't have any say on the election of US president. But for this to be a free world, surely I should have a say on who my leader is.
If I didn't have any control over the choice of US president and I, like he is part of a free world, then there is no way that he is in any way my leader.
Just wondering,
sorry if its too confusing, its late and I should sleep.

The american president is the "leader of the free world" in much the same way that micheal jackson is "the king of pop". It is more a meaningless title to provide certain people with superiority complex fodder. Obviously he is not really the leader of the free world because most of the free world told him to go to hell when he was laying his most recent war plans.
