Bringing Democracy to Iraq?!? 

Most of the Iraqi people support Al-Sadr. According to a poll partially funded by the state department 68 percent of Iraqis support Al-Sadr and about a third strongly support him. By baring him from the elections the US is barring the will of the people and imposing blatant minority rule. That's some "democracy." Bush isn't giving control to the people, he is outlawing the people's choice and imposing a puppet government. In addition 82% of Iraqis want US forces out of their country immediately and the US obviously isn't respecting that wish, hence denying democracy. Anyone who supports the occupation and/or the banning of resistance leaders like Al-Sadr from the election is against democracy. You can support democracy or you can support these actions but you cannot support both.
