The President and his army have received 8 BILLION U.S. Dollars from the U.S. over the last seven years to do little more than say they are against terrorism. Why would they take a chance on losing that much income for the sake of Democracy? If the President takes off his uniform, runs for election and loses, he will have lost a 1 BILLION annual salary. My guess is that not very many people are "democratic" enough to take that kind of chance. The U.S. belief that bribery and torture will bring them good results is not only immoral but childish.
