We are so enamored with Democracy that we want to export it (impose it) on every other nation. Curiously enough, as we remove dictators and agitate the masses with the promise of self-ruling (very good intentions, in our minds) we remove the only obstacles that keep religious fanatic leaders from imposing the harshest forms of dictatorships in the same countries. From a National Interest perspective (ours) we are removing the sole containment wall to the aspirations of fanatics that want to rule those countries and turn their societies firmly against the US. Madrassas (the religious version of public education) simply indoctrinate their young on blind obedience to the Koran and hate to the US.
Many of the present rulers that keep the fundamentalists on check have been placed in a position of power with the help of prior (wiser) American Administrations. We are now undoing their risky, expensive and arduous job with the short sighted idea that People will know best whom to chose to rule them.

They are choosing Iran-style, religious fanatics to control every aspect of their lives, taking them back to the dark ages and provoking hate towards us... their liberators!
It is like blowing up a dam and then acting surprised becasue the water runs downhill.
