I didn't say anything about democracy.  I was talking about aggression.
The reason that we are negotiating is because we are about peace.  War is a
last resort.

that doesn't mess with us or tries to bully one of our allies.  If punk

those

people. If punk governments want to be violent against other nations, we
stand up for those nations.

If that is the case then why did America and the rest of the West
support the Romanian dictator Caucescu? Why are we trying to negotiate
with North Korea which has killed millions of it's own people and is
currently threatening to test nuclear weapons and destabilise the
whole region? Why is Britain and America supporting China which
continues to brutally suppress democracy to this day?

So why was Iraq singled out?
