Bush Administration’s plea to Congress for supplemental $75 million in an exigency spending bill to buoy up U.S. efforts to structure democracy in Iran was the initial walk in the direction of democratizing that country.  Budget apportioning ( $75m ) aimed at propagating democracy in Iran was sought after to outline democracy, safeguard human rights and reform the totalitarian regime’s frail status. Among those considered meritorious are the oppositional groups and members of ethnic minorities. The two major Kurdish political groups (KDPI and Komela) are categorically in rating list, as well. 
 
If the US were to democratize a country vs. its wishes and devoid of generation and international consensus on the issue, then the US copes with serious legitimacy and credibility harms relating its policies. Democracy is brought about not by imposition. To democratize Iran, we need to realize three critical factors: the precondition to create an institutional capacity to undertake such a task, the must for broader international mutual aid for such an Endeavour and most prominently the prerequisite to partner with legitimate civil society and community leaders in those countries to facilitate the creation of democracies.
 
Promoting democracy in Iran would appreciably serve public and strategic US national interests. Democracies are the best regimes for ensuring regional stability and equitable prosperity for their citizens. If Iran were democratized, it would ensure regional stability, international order as well as individual and national prosperity. At present, the most critical of all is the willing public opinion supporting democratization efforts in that country hence, leaving the baseless regime fully ineffectual to resist. The steadfast and valiant Iranian masses have expressed their sturdy loathing and disgust to the ruling totalitarian clerical regime.  
 
Nation states resembling Syria and Turkey are among those overbearing regimes that continue to throttle the voices of democracy-loving citizens through vehemently repressive and abusive authority. The US needs to promote, fund and support the reformers, political dissidents and human rights activities in Syria and Turkey striving to chuck out dictatorship and swap it with liberal democracies.
