Do you think that BUSH is WORKING for DEMOCRACY?

Question

BUSH has claimed it several times that he has restored democarcy in Iraq.

On the other hand, he is fully backing Pakistani Dictator General Musharraf. He even honoured him with STATE DINNER.

Americans argue that BUSH is doing it in the best interest of America. If it is true, then let IRAN and NORTH KOREA do what is best in their interest.

Is it not a double face of BUSH?

Answer 1

Bush has no understanding of the concept of other races, religions or political motives. No amount of interference, political, milatry or otherwise will restore order when there is sectarian hatred as extreme as Iraq. Think of Northern Ireland times 1000.

He simply uses terminology that most of the under-educated Bush supporters in the US like to hear so that they can continue to vote for him in elections. He can then continue lining the pockets of the rich and make the poor poorer....

Answer 2

Well, let's try to look at this objectively, using our minds.

Bush has indeed restored democratic government to Iraq. Prior to Saddams coup d'etat (unassisted by the US) Iraq had a parliamentary representative government. Essentially, that has been restored. How can you say he hasn't?

While we all think democracy is the way to go, the fact is that many countries do not have democracy, and that many of our allies in the Global War on Terror are not democracies. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc are not democracies - but they are our allies. They are also peaceful nations - they do not threaten the stability of the region, they have no imperialistic desires or dreams of eliminating other countries.

Bush is doing what is in America's best interests, and also acting in accordance with international treaties. Iran and North Korea are violating treaties, especially the non-proliferation treaties, which many countries have issues with, not just the US.

Your arguments are not sustained by facts.

Answer 3

Yes he is but know this a president is only a figure head. Policies and their implementation are done by committees and groups. he mostly gets the opportunity to give the thumbs up or down. A good example of this is say you had 4 hours a day to manage people and 4 hours a day to do public appearances how many people could you manage effectively? That is how any sitting President works. If you are worked up over a sitting Public figure you are probably being used by a media that has its own agenda.

Answer 4

Trying to apply morality to foreign policy is an excersize in frustration and futility. You can save all of your ologies and isms. It boilds down to nations do what is in their own best interest. Or what they percieve as being in their own best interest. This is not unique to America or Bush. No other world wide empire (which is what we are) has behaved any better then we have.

I disagree with President Bush on almost everything he stands for and supports (he's right about our illegal immigration policies) because what he's done does not serve the long term interests of our country. Howvever comparing him to the leaders of nations like Iran and North Korea is an exageration. Our system of Government prevents him from taking actions like those leaders have. As far as North Korea acting in it's own self interest, I am not at all certain that their leadership has. Iran's leadership has acted in its own interests, certainly not in the interests of the majority of its people. In the end it comes down to force and power. How much are we willing to tolerate from Iran before we act? My biggest beef with the Bush foreign policy is that by miring our troops in Iraq, we don't have the ability to respond to N Korea and Iran effectively. Unlike Iraq, Iran actually is a threat to world security and the status quo.

Answer 5

About the same level as Blair is for England. they both believe that they have a God given right to carry on in any way for the full period of their government's legal term, and in Tony's case I think that he would like to do a Mugabe and extend unilaterally.

Answer 6

Yes I believe he does want democracy. Who will take the General Musharrafs place? The world is not a perfect place. Sometimes we have to pick between the lesser of two evils for now.

Answer 7

He is working to establish Fascism. (Rule by the Elite and a very small group of elite at that). His grandfather as well as Churchill were some of the big money people behind Hitler. The Bush family and Churchill are blood related.

Answer 8

Bush is the opposite of democratic - although he is rather excellent at marketing himself as a democratic leader - I think we call it 'spin' today. Unfortunately the US political system is good at spinning fear and this seems to brainwash enough voters into believing he is working for democracy when in fact he is doing the opposite. And even after all that has happened......

Answer 9

GWB cannot pronounce or spell democracy.
This is simply USA Imperialism dressed up by CNN and the media in the USA that he and his henchmen control.
All of the Bush dynasty serve only themselves and their corporate interests and greed.
The USA is expert in propaganda, misinformation and media management down to the public street level.
It is the definition of hypocrisy and the sophisticated control of the masses by oversimplification of all issues.

Answer 10

If Bush were working for Democracy why would he have gone to the Supreme Court to prevent the real winner of the Presidency from being certified, and for a count of votes in Florida in 2000?

If Bush were really working for Democracy would he have cheated in 7 states in 2004?

Bush isn't interested in Democracy, he is interested in stability in the middle-east, and in financial stability for the oil companies and other large multi-national corporations. Bush's loyalty is to the almighty dollar first, himself second and nothing else.
