Operation: free the world?

Words to strike terror into the heart, especially when they come from the lips of that brainless buffoon: "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world".

So, this is the face of caring conservatism, is it? Naked imperialist aggression covered by the merest fig leaf of rhetoric. Whose idea of "freedom" is this, then, Georgie Boy? I think I can hazard a guess.

Blair is a deluded idiot at the best of times, but given the tone of Bush's inauguration speech, his belief that the second term will be more "consensual" and less unilateral than the first suggests he's plumbed new depths.
