I am no friend of democracy, when mobs turn out and rule individuals who comprise minorities always lose. Regrettably, in the third world as evidenced in the Middle East, parts of Sudo America, and Africa we've seen the failure of democracy as the process to transition inevitably leads into backlash, turmoil, and bloody revolution.
Congo, Ghana, Zimbabwe and other countries are proof of the failure of democracy one party gets in and then magically transforms from those images of happy politicians on placards and posters, to the military men in uniforms that are responsible for UN refugee camps, dismembered bodies, and high death tolls. The Middle east in largely the same fashion will topple a dictator, falsely claim to institute a democratic government and then rinse, cycle, repeat as seen with toppling Mubarak, Morsi's power grab in Egypt, and the failure of the provisional government in Libya to stem the violence which Gaddafi kept low during his reign.
Leftist ideological nematodes say the process to democracy, i,e quasi socialist states is bloody, yet in the third world and world abroad the conditions from which they are hammered more often then not as evidenced by these modern examples render the transition null and void.
