Even as it presents an updated national security strategy, the Bush administration is facing fresh doubts from some Republicans who say its emphasis on promoting democracy around the world has come at the expense of protecting other American interests.

The critics, who include Senators Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Richard Lugar of Indiana and Representative Henry Hyde of Illinois, as well as former secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, are alarmed at the costs of military operations and of assisting with nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The concern, expressed last month by Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, is that the administration views democracy as a "magic formula."

"Implanting democracy in large areas would require that we possess an unbounded power and undertake an open-ended commitment of time and resources, which we cannot and will not do," he said.

Opinion Source Information:

KWAME HOLMAN: In the midst of all the arguments term limits opponents, especially Republicans, were comforted by the support of one of the most influential members of the House, Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde.

REP. HENRY HYDE, (R) Illinois: When we amend the Constitution, we should expand liberty, not diminish it, not contract the voters' choice. This amendment isn't conservative; it's reactionary. It echoes the 60's theme "Never trust anybody over 30." The last time we debated this issue we opponents were accused of arrogance; that we were the only ones who were qualified to govern. On the contrary, the beginning of wisdom is knowing how much you don't know, and if there's any arrogance here, it's among those who have no idea how difficult it is to draw the line between liberty and order, and would deny the voters the right to choose whom they will to help draw that line.
