Yahoo! News - Pushing Liberty: What Bush Means

A bit of a 'mumbledypeg' analysis of what Bush intends, though this observation is relevant:

"Bush's rhetoric alone may prompt governments around the globe to rethink the way they treat their citizens. That would be a great achievement. But fighting terrorism, curbing nukes, preserving oil flows, and expanding trade often will override promotion of freedom and liberty in dealing with the likes of Pakistan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and China. And with the military all but tapped out, don't expect either GIs or Condi Rice to be on the march for democracy any time soon."
