That is why iraq is part of the war on terror. Because setting up a democracy to be run by the people will beget personal freedoms, a free market, better economy, better standards of living, and in the end the knowledge that it was the US that helped them open the doors to these freedoms. That is the education and anti-poverty front of this war, while the military does the police work.
From there citizens in other countries in the middle east will see what iraqis have and want the same freedoms and increased quality of life. I can only imagine it gets better from there.
