It was always hypocritical of the US to talk up democracy, but run around supporting some really crummy tyrants. That was the realpolitik of the Cold War. Surely you can see the advantage if the US starts matching its praise of democracy to its actions? The US needs to support democracy by supporting democracies. Yet the only country in the Mideast that is an unquestionable flourishing democracy is the only one you want to dump, in favor of a bunch of corrupt autocrats.
