I don't have any problem with democracy and Islam -- but the proposition that we are promoting democracy by our actions in Iraq, coupled with using this as a justification for invading a sovereign country that had not attacked us and posed no threat, with that I and most of the world have a problem. To propose that, so long as we say we are promoting democracy, we can invade any country we choose, any time we choose, and kill anybody who opposes our invasion or anybody who is unlucky enough to be anywhere in the area that we are bombing or operating, and send in our military to occupy that country until we feel like leaving, which might be never -- that is where it gets a little sticky.
