Democracy for everyone

The United States better get with the program and support these uprisings around the world, they reacted slowly to Egypt and they seemed to be a little faster on the uptake with Bahrain and the announcement that they are going to provide money for opposition groups to access the internet and form groups is encouraging, but is it enough. Does everyone have the right to choose their own government and more importantly does the United States believe that everyone has the right to choose their own government? Currently the U. S. should move their operations off of Bahrain until they at least stop attacking their own citizens(this was a reason we invaded Iraq). This should be a non-partisan issue,

and save your defense arguments because at worst countries figuring out how to write their own constitutions do not have time to attack anyone and at best countries with democracies will actually govern based on the will of the people.
