Bush: ‘No Democracy Pretends To Be a Tyranny, Tyrannies Pretend They’re Democracies’

EXCERPT:

BUSH: "Freedom is not merely a political menu option or a foreign policy fad, it should be the defining commitment of our country and the hope of the world. That appeal is proved not just by the content of people’s hopes, but a noteworthy hypocrisy. No democracy pretends to be a tyranny. Most tyrannies prevent they’re democracies. Democracy remains the definition of political legitimacy. That has not changed and that will not change.”
