Libertarian liberation in Iraq?

I understand conservative interventionists may not mind, but how can allegedly libertarian ones square this stuff as liberation, except maybe to say that it is happening democratically?

"Iraq's interim government revived the death penalty last August for . . . drug trafficking."

But if sharia law were imposed democratically, and it is quite possible in Iraq, would that be liberation too? Under the standard of democratic process = liberation, it would be. Which is why libertarian interventionism is a dangerous crock or near-crock.
