The spread of democracy, especially in the undemocratic Middle East, is one of the cornerstones of President Bush's foreign policy. 'It is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world,' he said in his second inaugural address. Few would deny the nobility of this goal. Bush was following in the footsteps of George Washington who, in his inaugural address, spoke of 'the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government ... entrusted to the hands of the American people'
