democracy ?

its been a week since president mushi has stepped down. and the internet as well as news channels are full with articles and reviews. some calling him a hero other a dictator and the more moderate comments are that he was a man with a mix legacy. When mushi took over the affairs of the country, he was welcomed as a hero. some politicians called it a disaster, a zia regime back in affairs. but mushi proved to be different then his previous counterpart. rather then being a mullah he tried to propagate the more modern side of Pakistan. he tried to show the world that we are no different. we are same as you all, we enjoy movies , we enjoy music and we do have pet dogs. but i guess a lot of people did not like this concept and eventually after nearly a decade long rule his tenure did came to an end. so my question is , do we really want democracy in pak?. i was watching our pm making a speech in the national assembly saying that a weak democracy is better then dictatorship. i disagree with this statement, what if democracy jus does not work? will we still stick with it? what if turning the table i.e. a single rule makes things work?
