So, how would you apply that to Iraq / Iran? Remember this is in a post invasion scenario, as per Iraq. You have active gunplay going on amd you have people's beliefs to deal with.
And what would happen if theologins got involved. Whilst i support your dedication to individual rights. You will appreciate that religion of some form influences most governments to a greater or lesser degree. Atheists and Agnostics are, i believe, in the minority, and certainly in the middle east the preference is for god to influence decision making.
Above all you have to deal with people's perceptions. And we are not starting with a blank slate here. We are starting with a group of western, predominantly christian nations having invaded a largely islamic arab nation. Saddam may not have been a good muslim, but lots of Iraqis are.
You are going to need a Saddam like regime to control those factions that are not part of your electoral system, are you not? Once the regime starts behaving with strong arm tactics, do you think it will ever be able to win people over to its true intentions?
