No? Not even when that's what "the people" decide they want to do?

Democracy is NOT about making good, wise, just, peaceful, etc. decisions. When democracy is working properly ALL that we can ask of it is that the decisions are what the people decide that they want, for good OR for ill. Always making wise decisions is NOT one of the virtues democracy possesses. Democracy is about the people getting to make the decisions and being responsible for the consequences of the decisions that they make.

If you want a system that will always make the right decisions, good decisions, just decisions, etc. then you had better try something else. But good luck finding anything that doesn't have even worse flaws.
