Says who ?
Democracy is not a god given right.
It can go away as easily as it came.

Sure it is possible, but when you have people completely spoiled by democracy, it would be pretty hard to go back to any sort of ruthless dictator or imperialistic ways. The youth would fight it. The internet has also helped this. The youth of MANY nations can now interact with the rest of the world. It is easy to hate other countries when that is all you have been taught in schools and you have no outside influence. Now, people can find the truth and learn that "the other side" is not a bunch of baby eating barbarians.
