Uh.... I am hard pressed to find a country where democracy has come to power without war or corruption. Sometimes it was because, but never without, right?

Fair point, I can't think of an example where it has done so. How about my favorite quote instead:

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Winston Churchill

A very one-sided view. Capitalism also shares the miseries extremely unequal.

The second part is also not true - at least not in those countries that said they were socialistic.
A lot of things were shared equally there - like a good, free healthcare.
But the Big Bosses always has a it more Equality from everything good and nothing from the bad.

Ha! I remembered! I know there was one!
Bhutan!

In 2008 the king forced the country to adopt a constitution that limited his powers. Its basically a copy of GB. which is seen as a democracy even while being a constitutional monarchy.

That country is really interesting politically-philosophically.

Yes, a country being democratic does not mean they don't abuse human rights. Guantanamo is still open, right?
