Bringing Liberty and Democracy is NOT a fools errand. It is an important long term strategic step to CLARIFY your enemies. If the radical branches of any country take power and will not abide by acceptable civilized behavior, it becomes much easier to carry the war to the enemy and kill them.

The whole point of this effort is to get people to see the carrot and the stick. Play nice, you and your country can live how you like in your own little sand box. Don't play nice and you will get slapped down... HARD... enough so that you will loose power and the other people who are more willing to stay in their own little sand box will take power.

Gather your enemies in one place and kill them

I think Sharon did this in Gaza (got his enemies separated from his own people and in a box).
