much of what it says seems pretty straightforward to me, although I think it goes too far in speculating on what we are going to do (e.g., invade and conquer Afghanistan) and what the consequences of that will be. I don't think the administration has decided to do that yet, and I think a lot of people in it understand the dangers the authors set out. Oh, and I think they're a bit anticapitalist conspiracy-theory oriented when they go on about the connection of all this to oil interests in Central Asia and the Caspian Basin. Do those interests exist? yes. Will they be driving U.S. policy on such a subject as a war? Absolutely not. For background on the Caspian energy issues involved, see here:
