Great rhetoric but demonstrably untrue.

I think W probably believes that his foreign policy will spread democracy and make America safer, that abortion is morally wrong, etc.

I firmly believe that W believes that "democracy" and "freedom" as experienced in the US are, at the very least, the pinnacle of human accomplishment to date. I wouldn't want to vouch for his whole administration, nor would I necessarily deny that he is open to "helping out his friends" along the way.
It's this conflating of religion (faith) and the particularities of American politics, culture, and economics that are what make him so dangerous.

brit deal with hitler was bad -- ie 'ok take the sudetenland and we won't respond' -- but not quite on a par with the russian deal with hitler -- ie 'take half of poland, we'll take the other half, and together we'll kill everyone'.

The maneuverings of cheney-rove during the past couple of weeks-the "hunting" incident, and now the Dubai flare-up - are merely smokescreens to take focus away from the role of the current post-soviet regime's attempts to play honest broker in the mid-east.
Almost no coverage has been granted to russia's efforts to organize a nascent labour movement in Syria and Iran. After their success in Saudi, worker representatives in Syria asked the russian movement for assistance organizing. This is the last thing cheney-rove wants publicisised. A peaceful workers' uprising would stunt cheney-rove's juggernaut in the region.
Not that it will get out, given cheney-roves stranglehold on US and European media outlets--witness the cartoon fracus.
The current regime in russia isn't strictly orthodox, but early signs are that the direction is appropriate. Look for a reconstitution of a shadow "supreme soviet" to serve as an advisory panel. You heard it here first.

We serve an old moan in a dry seasonA lighthouse keeper in the desert sunDreamers of sleepers and white treasonWe dream of rain and the history of the gunThere’s a lighthouse in the middle of prussiaA white house in a red squareI’m living in films for the sake of russiaA kino runner for the ddrAnd the fifty-two daughters of the revolutionTurn the gold to chromeGift...nothing to loseStuck inside of memphis with the mobile home, sing:

The prosecution rest their case nearly two years ago and whole trial has been riddled with breaks for Slobo's health. It hardly seems their fault that the case wasn't over yet.

Another thing mostpeople don't realize is that cheney-rove actually pays people to post sympathetic comments on boards like this. Usually through third parties, of course. Impossible to say for sure, but look at TOMBOT's posts carefully.

They ditched it after Spitting Image ran a series of spoofs, first with Uncle Joe himself saying, in comedy voice, "Did you know I killed more people than Hitler?" and following it up with the likes of Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and so on wittering on about underpants and genocide.
