Is Democracy allways right?

Some parts of the world are so divided (Iraq, Israel/Palestine, Kashmir, The Baltics etc) that they have often only ever become governable by tough governments that restrict personal freedoms (British Empire, Saddam, Sharon/Arafat, USSR etc)

I just want to explore the idea that, perhaps, democracy just doesn't work in some parts of the world.

To illustrate, say 60% of a nation decides to murder the other 40% - that's still democracy, right?
