"That's assuming, as you do, that democratization will not put in power the very jihadis we are fighting against."
If that is their choice, then so be it. In this event, there is no blaming the USA (or Israel)for their actions as a country. The claim that this is just a radical few would be handily dispelled huh?
As a great man once said, lets see them lay their cards on the table.

That's one hell of a statement to make when US soldiers will have died to ennable jihadis.
And that claim about a radical few is just a claim, a propagandistic attempt to minimise the threat of jihad to the great unwashed. It was laughable then and it's still now. Anybody with a knowledge of say, Egypt and the history ofthe Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Arab world, and even the Algerian elections in 1992 demostrate the utter absurdity of that fallacy put out by the USG.
