>tell me how President Bush's policy of pre-emptively spreading democracy isn't really a policy wholly designed to keep the U.S. as the only powerhouse on earth and to get its hands on what it needs to keep it that way.

I don't think there is a government in the world whose foreign policy is to become less influential.

Why should the United States' be different?



>And tell me how this differs from Hitler's desire to have had a 1000 years global Reich.

The difference between a) using military strength to create and protect democracies, to remove dictators and end genocide, and b) "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" is pretty self explanatory.

If you didn't get so personally involved in your own pre-conceived notions you'd be able to see that.
