A prime example of such bunk is George Bush's endorsement of democracy for Iraq. This was made in November of 2003 when he thought that the U.S. invasion of Iraq had succeeded. He saw the Iraq War as part of the "global democratic revolution" led by the U.S. This self-contradictory idea that a U.S. invasion can create a democracy is common among U.S. leaders.

For Bush and Obama and many other prospective presidents ready to assume that office, global democratic revolution means continued interference in all sorts of foreign countries with a continual diversion of resources away from peaceful development within America. This spells only trouble for Americans. Domestically, the term "democratic revolution" doesn't apply, unless turned on its head.
