Democray isn't necessarily the best form of government. A dictatorship is far more efficient and can be much better than a democracy if the dictator cares about the people and runs things well. The problem of course is that there is no guarantee they will do any such thing, and so democracy is the most effective method of ensuring stability and moderation. But democracy is far less efficient, more beaurocratic, and weaker.
