United States has pressured Egypt, Iraq and the Palestinian territories to hold free elections"The pro-democracy effort has had the actual effect of strengthening fundamentalist movements," Katzman says.
In Egypt, he says, the Muslim Brotherhood was the most organized opposition to longtime President Hosni Mubarak, so it was ideally positioned to do well in the elections.
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah in Lebanon and several Iraqi religious groups oppose U.S. support for Israel and back policies that could restrict social freedoms.
Recent elections in South America show much the same and are a result of the Republicans arrogant meddling in other countries internal affairs.
