An emperor is the leader of an empire. America could be argued to be an empire. Bush is the leader of America. If one disagrees that America is an empire, then my point is moot. I happen to think America is an empire. I like the idea that America is an empire.
Bush's support democracy or support terrorism, black and white rhetoric, combined with the administration's equating the Spanish people as Al-Qaeda supporters and terrorist appeasers for excersing their democratic rights is proof enough for me that Bush is opposing Spanish democracy. Besides, in the black and white world of morality, an enemy is one who doesn't support. By not supporting Spain's democracy, Bush is opposing it. If the argument that by not supporting the US in battle, one is opposing the US in battle is valid, so is this.
