The tyranny doctrine
From Tripoli to Beijing, President Bush has abandoned his bold pledge to support democracy.

LAST WEEK, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced, citing Tripoli’s renunciation of terrorism and intelligence cooperation. This ends a quarter-century diplomatic freeze. It also marks an effective end to the Bush doctrine.

At his second inauguration, President Bush declared: “The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.”

Since that soaring pronouncement, the Bush administration has watched Egypt abrogate elections, ignored the collapse of the so-called Cedar Revolution in Lebanon and abandoned imprisoned Chinese dissidents; now Washington is mulling a peace treaty with Stalinist North Korea.

Bush had a clear message for Iran also, which was great to hear. But I think it won't change much. Bush and Blair have been telling the truth for three years, and it hasn't changed the Media's purposeful disinformation campaign. If Main Stream Media were able to push in the clutch, find reverse and admit that they have been lying about Iraq for three years, they might re-gain my trust. But that would be humbling, and Media types would probably find it easier to praise Bush than humble themselves, admitting they were wrong. It must be killing some of them, to know that the news about a free democratic Iraq is positive, is wonderful...but doesn't fit the ordained template.

Well done George...more of the same. Apologize for the immigration stance, admit the mistake and support the "secure the border first" movement. Am I dreaming? Is that even possible at this point?
