Imperial America, Pax Americanus
Statement of Principles
This is the statement of principles from the Project for the New American Century. In some ways it seems a pretty innocuous document until you really look at the principles. In addition, a staff member says that the 9/11 Commission report proves a tie between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda connected to 9/11 which the Commssion Report specifically denies.
It also seems to assert that we are to become the world's policeman. But that then presents some real problems Now that we've knocked down the sadistic tyrant of Iraq maybe we will take on the sadists of the Sudan, who are raping and killing in their form of ethnic cleansing. Now that Colin Powell has called it genocide, which the Sudan government denies, will we act as a policeman there or, faint with fear over Somalia, just shake our finger at them?
Shouldn't Sudan be part of our role as world's policeman? Or is just where oil and arabs are concerned? Or maybe the project is just a form of campaign finger points? Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, the Iraqi hawks, all signed this declaration of principles. And if it's carried out, who's going to pay for it? From the fiscal policies of the current administration, it appears to be our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Realistically our "police" efforts need to be directed toward those countries that threaten our security or vital resources. That's not arrogance, imperialism or selfishness, by the way, just common sense.
Whatever happened to the U.N.in this situation, by the way?
If they can't fill a role here, what CAN they do?
