Seems like the US (and its allies) are involved in a whole lot more mores than any dictator than I can think of. Nato is a whole collection of democracies that is and has been involved in many different wars.

Iran is a constitutional republic, with an extra branch of government (Guardian Council). However, it does have an elected parliament representing the people - and they President is elected. They surreptitiously fund Hezbollah who is instigates a whole lot of conflict in the region. Hardly peace loving government - although I found the citizens to be very friendly.

Iraq is supposed to be a democracy - born and raised by the US government. Remember the The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA)? This was the US controlled transitional government after Gulf War II. I guess you can still call Iraq a democracy, but it is a miserable failure at running the country. Iraq needs a benevolent dictator to keep the country functioning peacefully.

So, you are wrong. Neither Dictatorships nor so-called Democratic governments are superior at staying out of war.
