The problem with Iraqis `not wanting` democracy is the alternative they `want.` As a mess they are now or a Taliban-like hellhole religious fanatics are trying to build they are a threat to both freedom loving Iraqis and the Western world. And as such they have to be dealt with even if its not pretty.
In history, Japan is one example where the US had to kick some sense into a country with nonexistent democratic past. Japanese themselves were not necessarily happy about foreign power planting democracy in their country.
Different opinions are all fine and cool until they start to threaten lives and property of other people. One cannot have `an opinion` it is allright to blow up `infidels,` trade women for two sheep and a camel and then lock them up in caves, terrorize other people etc.
