First, no one believes Iran is a democracy in the sense the word is understood. Your citing Iran as a democracy is laughable. They just got done killing their people a few years ago when there was an uprising against the government you think is a democracy. They consistently oppress their people with imprisonment and death, while threatening nuclear war against their neighbors.

Second, Iraq is a democracy, but not functioning well. However, the Iraqi government unlike Iran has not resorted to murdering it's own citizens and threatening it's neighbors with war. And you think a new Iraqi dictator will fix things. Too funny!!!

You might spend some time reading Rummel. It will enlighten you to the truth. For anyone to believe an effective form of government is a dictatorship, is really failing to learn from history and frighteningly ignorant. The dictator might get the trains to run on time (apparently your only concern), while committing tyranny and murdering millions.

This from Rummel:
