This is the part I like best...

""These generalities may be dismissed as simplistic, except that they conceal a hard-nosed agenda, which includes defeating the world-wide movement of Islamic militancy in order to protect the US from another 9/11; and ensuring long-term American dominion over Arab oil.

Israel and its American friends in the administration add two further goals: securing Israel's monopoly on weapons of mass destruction; and depriving the Palestinians of any external support, whether from Syria or from militant groups like Lebanon's Hizbullah, so as to force them to accept whatever crumbs Israel's Ariel Sharon might throw them.

The strategic doctrine behind these goals is that the US must retain global military supremacy and Israeli regional military supremacy. Their enemies must be denied any sort of deterrent capability and must give up any hope of achieving a balance of power. While the wisdom of this doctrine might be doubted, the future does not look reassuring.""
