Why do the Iraqis support democarcy so much?

Sunni Muslim sheiks have joined the US in fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq: http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0503/p01s04-wome.htm...

Al Zarqawi's successor has been killed in Iraq -- by Sunnis: http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?typ...

Could it be that our General on the ground knows more than the Bush haters, even as the Democrats try to pretend that retreat is an option and that the whole thing is a civil war in which we are unwelcome?

-We do definitely see links to the greater al Qaeda network. . . . There is no question but that there is a network that supports the movement of foreign fighters through Syria into Iraq. . . . The Iranian involvement has really become much clearer to us . . .Typically, in fact, still we believe that, oh, 80 percent to 90 percent of the suicide attacks are carried out by foreigners.-

Update:

Oops, didn't spell check - Democracy!

Update 2:

Fair enough Beren. But the list of what's reliable in sourcing keeps getting longer and longer. I try to be well-read, not just picking from sources that fit how I want to see the world.

    We can slaughter terrorists and insurgents until we run out of bullets. But it will not stop, they'll just breed more of them. The problem runs deeper than a military solution, that's what you guys are missing. Terrorism can only exist within a poplulation which tolerates it if not opensly supports it. Until we decide to put down the machismo and look deep and hard at why terroism exists at all, well then your grandkids will make excellent soldiers.
