You guys need to learn democracy keeps electing the people you don't like. Democracy is not a good thing in these regions, at least not yet. It's better to have a benevolent, Western thinking dictator like there is in Jordan. The only thing democracy will bring in Iraq is another strict-Islamic Government that hates the US.
