I don't think democracy is the best system to have in all cases. A classic example of this is Philippine democracy. It is worse than elementary school class elections. Anyone who starred in a movie is capable of winning the presidency. Already two popularly elected presidents have been ousted from power (it was almost three after last year).
The Philippines could use a good does of dictatorship. It's weird saying this, but a leader like Marcos (sans corruption) would probably do the country a whole lot of good. Now, with Russia moving closer and closer to becoming a dictatorship, should we let Putin take control, or intervene somehow? |

I mean Demcracy has it flaws (look how did bush get elected twice) But I don't think a total dictatorship is key. Some people let power run to there head and then we get cases Like in cuba. Not that the U.S helped that workout any better than it did but you get my point
