Here is the passage I found on pg 51. If you are referring to another part please advise:

”Further, the process of transformation,
even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor.”

I don’t see the ‘desire’ for catastrophic and catalyzing event in this text. I see a long range planning document that takes into account how a catastrophic event might impact our future. I see it as thoughtful and forward looking to consider the very high likelihood that such an event could occur.

The document seems to be some sort of forward looking white paper. Considering the changes that have occurred since 2000, that makes the document 1) obsolete, and 2) irrelevant. It’s like drumming up old slave laws from Georgia and claiming they represent current societal policy.
