Human rights? You really do believe this, don't you? If anything we support human rights less than democracy. I'm sure the Arabs at Guantanamo Bay and all the secret prisons we have around the world would agree with me. The last administration openly supported torture. Remember how Cheney played this disgusting word game saying that waterboarding was "enhanced interogation" and not torture? And anyways I'm sure many Arabs would argue that Hamas is for the human rights of the Palestinian people as a whole as they want to stop living under Israel's boot.
Personally I don't think we should either support democracy or dictorship around the world. I think we should stay out of other country's affairs. The Iranian people actually like us and want to emulate parts of our culture because we don't really boss them around.
