Outline the Bush Doctrine and provide examples of its application.

What will be an ideal response?


According to the Bush Doctrine, unilateral action (action by the United States alone) directly targeted at enemies is both justifiable and feasible. The Bush Doctrine also asserted that the United States should use its role as the world's only remaining superpower to spread democracy and to create conditions of security that will benefit itself and its allies. This doctrine was employed in the invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.
