The Bush Doctrine remains alive and well in spite of what the media tells us.

When the Bolsheviks took over Russia in November 1917, they assumed that communist revolutions would break out of their own accord all over the world soon thereafter. When that didn’t happen, they established the Comintern (Communist International) to “help” the process along.
Why is this relevant today? The so-called Bush Doctrine is just as revolutionary as its communist predecessor. It is the goal of US foreign policy to promote revolutionary democratic movements the world over.
Thus, the United States has ceased to regard itself as a traditional nation-state, concerned with matters like border defense, and a military which sticks to traditional tasks like remaining at home and reacting to direct threats against the home territory.
We close military bases at home, and build them abroad. This doctrine, which envisions the US military as a kind of democracy strike-force, is bound to result in much of the world uniting against the United States in an effort to preserve their own power and domains. It’s a recipe for endless wars. The American people and economy cannot sustain the kind of effort required meet the outlandish goals of the Bush Doctrine indefinitely.
