Extending Democracy, Liberty, and Security to All Regions
A policy of actively promoting democracy and freedom in all regions of the world. As Bush stated at West Point, "America has no empire to extend or utopia to establish. We wish for others only what we wish for ourselves -- safety from violence, the rewards of liberty, and the hope for a better life."
The Bush doctrine is one that I agree.......sometimes the democracy is not Utopia, and it certainly is not an extension of our empire....but it is a continuing process. The battle between fundamental religious extremist and modernity is a battle best fought in democracy....people can go backwards, but again....President Bush was very clear.....it may not be an extension of our empire....and it will not be a utopia. Some argue it took us over 100 years to perfect our very own democracy.....and if some were to judge us from afar.....we in our journey once believed owning other humans was legal.
