<<If there's a case to be made against democracy, few countries make it better than Pakistan.>>

Hey, I know the opening line there is sort of tongue in cheek, but just off-hand: Is there any country , now or in the past , where you could say "Well, that system they have (or had) sure is better than democracy" ???

Somebody told me that "democracy is not always the best system, especially if it's forced on you". I know they just carping about Iraq, but I thought well, is there an example?

I'm just asking, maybe it's obvious, just not to me. Sometimes it's like that. Just cause I don't see something straight away, don't mean I'm dumb or anything. I'm not afraid to admit I might be ignorant. I learn something most every day.
