Bush isn't interested in spreading Democracy
In fact, he condones Authoritarian rule! From a long time ago, before the 'liberal' media said that Bush was on a quest to spread Democracy all around the world.

"The Post wrote that with the announcement that Pervez Musharraf would not be stepping down as chief of the Pakistan army, "President Pervez Musharraf will break yet another of the promises he has made to his country and the world since seizing power in a 1999 military coup against an elected government.' The newspaper recalled that a year ago, in exchange for parliamentary support for a package of laws increasing his powers as President, extending his rule through 2007 and curtailing elected government through the creation of a military-dominated national security council, Gen. Musharraf had pledged to resign from his post as Army chief of staff by Dec. 31.

It should be noted that President Bush continues to lionize Gen. Musharraf as a crucial ally in the war on terrorism and as someone who is leading Pakistan toward democracy. "In fact the General has become a classic example of the sort of US ally Mr. Bush has repeatedly vowed to repudiate: an authoritarian ruler who offers tactical security cooperation with the United States while storing up trouble for the future,"

1. You have to know what Freedom and Democracy means to
them. It means the freedom of the wealthy and the powerful to screw the poor without restraint.
