I think respect for human rights and individual freedom is more important than democracy. Although democracy can be a good tool to safeguard those things.

It only really works when the population is educated though.

I don't think you can have democracy in a country where there hasn't been a compulsory public education system for at least a couple of generations, otherwise it just turns into an ethnic headcount.
