Serious democracy would mean governments deeply opposed to US interests. Interesting point. However, is "serious democracy" really possible in that part of the world right now - under ANY circumstances? Those poor people had been forever oppressed and brainwashed and thorn apart by their dictators and by religious "authorities" of all shades. I think they'll need a period of relative stability and personal safety before they can begin to "seriously" make up their minds.
