I'm sure a large amount of people in Iraq do want democracy. I wouldn't even be surprised if the majority of people in Iraq want a democracy, but democracy does not work well in non-homogeneous populations. You can see that in almost every African and Middle Eastern country. Not only that, the democracy would be a western-run democracy, something that may not be as popular in Iraq and will be seen as imperialistic.

3) But do you think a country would be more stable if it were a democracy? Would you want a leader to force himself into power, hog up all the wealth of the country, and put wealthy people in the high ranking government positions instead of smart, highly educated people that know what they are doing?

Possibly, but not necessarily. If the Iraqi people rose up and gave themselves democracy, then I would have confidence that you are right but we had to invade them, which probably means a puppet or revolutionary ruler will pop up, which doesn't guarantee safety.
And what makes you think that any democracy has smart people that know what they are doing in power....

4) Everyone that thinks Bush is a bad president. Well, his dad was a great president, he got to learn first-hand how to run the country. Trust me, Bush knows what he is doing better than almost everybody in the U.S.

Yes, that is why monarchies are such a good idea...
Bush messed up on many fronts. We have multiple threads on actions of our president and I'm sure tw could write you a goddamn book on why Bush is a bad president.
