Although a democracy must often fight with one hand tied behind its back, it nonetheless has the upper hand. -Aharon Barak, law professor, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel (b.1936)
A comforting thought, but is it true? On the face of it autocratic forces, not constrained by their own public's opinion, would seem to have a great advantage. The historical record of democracy is, I think, too thin to render a verdict.
