During George W. Bush's time as president, few believed that he would focus on the advancement of democracy. During 2001, the Bush administration did not even address the issue of promoting civil societies, rule of law, free elections and open political processes as major issues of their agenda. Early on, Bush and his team made it evident that they would not put heavy emphasis on fostering democracy, but rather they would focus on "great-power realism." In Bush's next term, he began by expressing that there would be a great focus on foreign policy through a large push toward achieving world peace.

President Bush throughout his presidency has also consistently argued that there is an inextricable link between freedom and peace, and between democracy and security.

For this effort, Arab leader and Arab democracy reformers from the United States, Europe and India must work together.
Arab Support for Democracy
Since the 1970's "third wave" of democratization, a myriad of countries have been observed to have a surge of governmental democratic structures. Democracy in the middle east in no different follows this observable trend.
