Saddam Hussein + Taliban aren't democracies. The fact is, Palestinian election is a democratic process.

Wrong. Saddam was simply the leader of the Baathist PARTY.

Iraq had elections just before invasion.
Maybe not the most free and open, but voting elections were held.

The Taliban were not foreign invaders, they were voted in.
The fact that they became dictatorial is of little importance; no more than the NAZI party became such.

BTW, that was another great terrorist group voted into power.
