Yes, Wilson wanted to "make the world safe for democracy", meaning existing democracies like the U.S. A look at warfare since WWI finds the democracy justification popping up time after time. It is the high-principle put forthe by Western elites to justify any modern military action, and Bush is just using the same old rhetoric with a new twist, "democracy or else". Democracy at the barrel of a gun. I think the concept of Democracy is terribly abused by the elites. Does real Democracy exists on the federal level in the U.S. in 2006? We have two parties that do the bidding of the elites, lest we forget all the Democrats who supported the Attack on Iraq in 2003. The Democrats are still slightly more populist than the Republicans, but that distinction is harder to make with each passing decade. We lecture and fight supposedly for a concept like Democracy, but we barely even practice it on our own federal level of government. If the elites wanted Democracy in America in 2006, we see a massive expansion of the Legislature to make room for more parties and POVs. There is no hope of that happening.
