Ok Andy, let me try to explain it to you. During first half of the 20th Century US foreign policy was focused on security of the US. The last half of the 20th century foreign policy focused on spreading democracy, defeating communism. Bush has married the two policies. US security DEPENDS on spreading freedom. Get it?
Oh thanks. I am such a dimwit. I never would have guessed without a genius like you explaining it to me.
If it were proactive, as in preemptive invasions, and about spreading freedom then I guess Castro would have long since been history.
