let democracy, law and order do its job

As if the Entity currently committing Genocide isn't considered a democracy. Or the one which invaded Iraq under the lie of them having nuclear weapons isn't a democracy, and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. or millions of death caused by colonialism of "European Domocracies" the biggest of which is the UK. I can go on and on about what democracies have committed around the world. you can still use it to pat yourselves on the back. but if you take a honest look you will see that democracies aren't inherently better than other forms when it comes to criminal and imperialist conduct.
