USA never bother about democracy, It is just to pressurize the naughty leaders. What is your opinion about Arab Kingdoms, they are all best friends of US because they are obedient. Musharraf is serving US agenda in Pakistan with dedication so he is very much acceptable for US. But HAMAS and Mahmood Ahmadi Nazad are axis of evil no matter that they are elected by their people through a democratic process.

No the US just says that. If you're willing to buy our weapons and walmarts than our government doesn't care if you hang baby heads on your walls for decoration. And make sure you don't mess with our oil supply because it will get dirty. Just ask Saddam.
