Palestinians "democratically" elected Hamas in Jan, 2006.
Germany "democratically" elected Hitler in 1933.
The U.S. "democratically" elected Obama in 2008.
This proves your point even more. When a nation as a whole is ignorant, mislead, or even evil, free elections can put terrorists, genocidal dictators, and statists in control at the expense of individual safety and liberty. So question: should we be more concerned about free elections in other nations or the threat to liberty and safety in our own nation? My answer: as we oversaw the forming of democracy in Iraq, we must be sure that "free elections" don't result in a false freedom. Democratic elections that result in the enforcement of sharia law is not true freedom. Democracy and sharia are not compatible. This is why we cannot support "free elections" in Egypt when the filling of the void by the Muslim Brotherhood is a foregone conclusion. The Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to true freedom and safety in our own nation. What will our soldiers say when they are shot down with the anti-aircraft missiles Egypt purchased earlier from the U.S.? "It was a free election?"
