GEORGE W. Bush is nothing if not bold, and his new freedom doctrine sounds inspirational: the mighty US as the vehicle for spreading democracy and "the great objective of ending tyranny".

But sceptics will ask if this isn't merely a belated justification for the war on Iraq now weapons of mass destruction have not been found -- and what about the White House's oil-rich anti-democratic pals in Saudi Arabia?

The US has been a champion of liberty at home and often fought for it abroad -- but it has sacrificed that ideal when it believed it would be in its own interests.

That's why Washington counts rulers such as Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf and the Saudi royal family among its friends, and why it once supplanted the elected government of Iran with the Shah

shit. That should be a new term. Full of Bush. Example: Ahmed Chalabi's pre-war WMD intelligence claims prove that he is totally full of Bush.
