Well if you think about it it's a lot easier to get things done in a dictatorship than a republic or democracy. In a democracy everything must be debated and argued over ad infinitum, often argued so much that nothing gets accomplished. Various factions support or oppose every action often for reasons that have little to do with it's true merit.

Not so in a dictatorship. Once he is convinced of the merit of a particular action the dictator just says "do it" and it is done, end of story. A far more efficient system.

The big problem however is getting a dictator who makes decisions in the interest of his entire people and that is what GB was talking about.
