bush doctrine

The definition of Bush Doctrine has changed over time. A chronology as presented by the phrase's originator, Charles Krauthammer:

1) 6/4/2001 - Bush administration policies of unilaterally withdrawing from the ABM treaty and rejecting the Kyoto protocol, together with others, amounted to a radical change in foreign policy that should be called the Bush doctrine.

2) Post-9/11 - Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists

3) Post-Iraq - A doctrine of preemptive war

4) Current - The idea that the fundamental mission of American foreign policy is to spread democracy throughout the world.

I used the Bush doctrine and told him he had to take a side!
