Are there no people in the Middle East that think like our Founding Fathers and are willing to stand up to Islam?

I'm sure you meant "radical Islamics" rather than assuming the entire Islamic community was evil. As the original post said, any freedom-loving people in Iraq right now are being oppressed, abducted, or killed for speaking their mind by radical Islamic fundamentalists. The "leaders" that the US has put in place (both in Iraq and Afghanistan) are puppet businessmen, not charismatic leaders who believe fervently in the cause of their people.
In the gulf war in 1991, the USA let a bunch of Iraqis that they had encouraged to revolt against Saddam get killed and tortured because the USA was afraid of Iraq becoming a religious state. You can understand how people there might be a little afraid to speak up now.
