U.S. Hypocrisy

The Bush administration has made much of spreading Democracy around the world, as a means to secure the U.S. interests and world peace, yet the Republicans and other Conservatives have in the past preferred to undermine Liberal Democracies, freely elected, in favor of Right-Wing Dictators. The Bush administration has been guilty also of interfering in other countries sovereignty, when you consider the recent attempt at ousting President Chavez, of Venezuela, a democratically elected President. As a result of "public diplomacy" campaigns aimed against the U.S. public, Americans believe that these "Liberal, Left-Wing Democracies" are a threat to our Democracy; yet, Bush and his spinmeisters argue that if a country chooses Democracy as its form of government that government will become peaceful and "freedom-loving". The contradiction in their logic and spin I will leave to the reader to sort out.
