Those things that are promoted by the leaders of this country mean nothing unless they are addressed in the context of everything else that is going on.

The country has an active and open democracy temporarily being led by those persons and others. They are in no position to take over the world as fascist dictators and in my wildest imagination I can think of no way that such a secret agenda could take place even if they wanted it to.

There is no movement to suppress other countries under the central autocratic rule of a 'Bush Regime' or particular ideology held by our leaders. On the other hand, it is perfectly justify-able to promote one's or a countries ideals under an open democracy without that being an act of fascism. That's called politics. It is also justifiable to carry on foriegn affairs that are beneficial to our nation's economic and cultural interests, without that being fascism. It is also justifiable to employ military operations when we are able to ensure greature security against threats from outside, without that being fascism.

Those items you listed could be elements of a Fascist Government, but they can also be elements of a non-fascist government. In any event, besides parsing them out of a much richer context that leaves them misrepresentative, you've overstated them with regards to the Bush admin.
