" I'd rather our money not go to funding these activities ".

Then I suggest you/we start on our plan to invent a new wheel, cause this one turns by the power of oil,and the ME has it ,along with Russia and a few other places that have their own interests in mind.

" However, for right now, I would prefer we continue with stated efforts towards creating some kind of fledgling democratic systems in those countries. "...

I would suggest " we " turn our attention towards creating democracies in countries where " we " have influence, Saudi Arabia,for example, but to name just one.

In reality though , people must have a strong desire for democracy in order for democracy to take hold.Not all peoples embrace democracy the way we do, and resent our trying to influence them in their pursuit of happiness,such as what took place in Cuba most recently.

You can lead a horse to water...but....
