I think the point is that it doesn't work to instill democracy in a country where fundamental Islam shouts the loudest.
From what the past 8 years have shown us, the moderates aren't willing to stand up in numbers and fight back against the whackjobs using Islam to further their agenda.
Plus, Islam is without the fundamentalism still a religion based on prior to 20th century principles. You can't just force democracy upon them and hope they will accept it. Just look at Iraq. It will take up to 6-8 years, thousands dead, just to get a working government.
