Wasn’t there another democratic country in the region in the early 50’s? Oh yeah, it was Iran, and then the US took that democratic state and deposed it in a coup.
“We have to stand with the only democratic state in the region” loses a lot of rhetorical force when the US topples other democratic states it doesn’t like.
