<o>But I prefer, by far, any government that derives its power from the people who govern it. And I think the US has a responsibility to be the guarantor of any society that makes an honest attempt at developing such a governmental system.


I think that being the guarantor is a bit much. I'd be happy with supporting democratic governments. Which is why I would accept the Hamas government. If you really believe in democracy you accept the notion that, at worst, the people can make a mistake and with a contintued democratic processes those errors will self correct.
