toadfrog, HERE it is. This is not some liberal web site aimed at propagandizing and bad-mouthing the Bush Administration and the neo-Conservatives, this is their web site and it is in their own words.

This makes fascinating reading. All of this is written up in glowing, patriotic terms, in a manner that will warm the heart of any self-styled patriot, but a read-through of the various links in this site can leave no doubt as to the long-range intentions of the Bush Administration and those behind it.

I find the following two paragraphs in The Bush Doctrine, in the list of articles under Defense and National Security to be especially telling:—

Promoting liberal democratic principles. "No nation is exempt" from the "non-negotiable demands" of liberty, law and justice. Because the United States has a "greater objective" -- a greater purpose -- in the world, Bush sees in the war not just danger but an opportunity to spread American political principles, especially into the Muslim world.

The Bush Doctrine is also notable for what it is not. It is not Clintonian multilateralism; the president did not appeal to the United Nations, profess faith in arms control, or raise hopes for any "peace process." Nor is it the balance-of-power realism favored by his father. It is, rather, a reassertion that lasting peace and security is to be won and preserved by asserting both U.S. military strength and American political principles.

Spend some time browsing through the various links and reading what is presented. It's a real eye-opener.
