>>There is cold fury in America about the perfidious manner in which the axis of France and Germany behaved in recent months, siding in effect with Saddam Hussein. The House of Representatives has just approved an amendment to a £51 billion Bill for financing the war and the start of reconstruction to make sure that no French, German, Russian or Syrian companies profit from it. Although the White House lobbied against it, the Bill was passed by 414–12. That gives you a sense of the anger.<<

414-12? Yikes.

Rest of the article is worth reading, an essay by Shawcross in the UK Spectator about the Pax Americana.

I think it's interesting that the Pax Americana came about under Clinton but I can't get any Democrats to talk about it peacably. Madeline Albright helped formulate the ideas, not just the Neocons.
