Bush's attitude to the massacre in Darfur, Sudan, is another example of the USA's “success” in the fight for global democracy. When Osama bin Laden was hiding in Sudan, the USA did not think twice to launch missiles and drop bombs on the country. Nowadays, when the US administration spends billions of dollars to maintain the nation's military predominance, the American budget does not have any funds for a peacemaking operation in the region.
The US administration is unable to identify its preferences – democracy or national interests - on the post-Soviet space either. The opposition of Azerbaijan, for instance, failed to prove it to Washington that Ilkhan Aliyev was a dictator. The US administration apparently decided that friendly relations with Azerbaijan – the country that takes an important geopolitical position – are much more relevant than the criticism of Mr. Aliyev's regime.
The year after the repeated inauguration of George W. Bush has revealed serious flaws with democracy and observation of human rights in the USA. The struggle against the international terrorism is obviously a noble deed, although the use of tortures likens CIA officers to Al Qaeda bombers. Who knows, maybe the USA will be able to act better in bringing freedom to the “suppressed nations” as years of Bush's presidency go by.
