Just because we support the democratic process doesn't mean we have to neccessarily support the regime that results from that process.

Exactly right. After all, Hugo Chavez won a democratic election, didn't he? /sarcasm

Bingo. All the democratic process does is produce a government that is favored by the majority of the people.

As the majority of the people on the planet are fairly nice the government elected will be fairly nice as well. However there are always groups that are not fairly nice but are total loons. It is always possible that they will be elected.

The up side is that this removes any touch of victimhood when the fairly nice people of the world get together and squash them like bugs.

You can't blame "the government", as if they were some seperate entity, you selected them.
