Democracy is not a form of government it is the reverse... it is a form of protection against government. We use democracy to protect ourselves from tyranny and all forms of tyranny have the properties of government. Democracy is a defensive protection from (the prevention of) government it is not government itself.
"Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Winston Churchill
Democracy can never be said to be aggressive since it is only a means to sanction force not the application of force itself.
