Umm. You really might want to examine the US strategic interest.

There is no conflict. Countries that are not supporting terrorism
against the US are better than the ones who do support terrorism.

Is there any point to creating more of the latter type?

Waving a banner saying DEMOCRACY does nothing to denote a country's
goals, values, objectives, or how it pursues it's strategic interests.

I oppose countries that oppose the US have means, motive, and
opportunity to act militarily.

I don't particularly care what sort of government they have if they
meet the prior criteria and think it is pointless to give some
country a free-ride because they have some specific form of
selecting the official who will decide *how* to attack America.
It ignores the underlying issues and restricts US actions by
applying false principles to the decision matrix in actions.
