"A central claim of the Bush administration's foreign policy is that the spread of democracy in the Middle East is the cure for terrorism"

The Bush administration's diplomacy is based on the concept that democracy is the key to beating terrorism in the Middle East. This policy is based upon the belief that democracy will bring stability and peace to the area, and that it will cause a decrease in terrorism. The Bush administration thinks that by promoting democracy in the Middle East, it will have the ability to reduce the hazard of terrorism and create a more safe and prosperous area. This policy has been met criticism from some who argue that democracy is not the only solution to terrorism, which other steps must be required to attend to the root causes of terrorism. Nevertheless, the Bush administration remains dedicated to its policy of promoting democracy in the Middle East as a method to fight terrorism.
