Truly the greatest advantage of a democratic system. We elect stupid people, criminals, and the fataly flawed, but when they screw up by the numbers, we can vote them out again and at least have a chance to repair the damage, without having to fight a war (of course, the Confederacy had some real issues when the majority was seen trampling the rights of the minority...
). No system is perfect, but I like having one where there is a peaceful process for the transfer of power to satisfy the will of the common man. A small group of men in a dark room deciding the fate of a nation only works as long as those men are very smart, very noble, and pretty lucky in their choices due to the uncertaintly of world events. Ask the Soviets.
