Like Pax Britannica and Pax Romana, the new cyber based Pax Americana has now not only to carry the stick but sometime use it too. Empires are build today on economic influence and here we are going through one of the most astonishing change of strategic direction and evolution a new grand design where America has gone pro-active, it may shock some doves but with global expanse comes responsibilities too... and let's not forget "Pax Latif" ! ;) wonderful post (s) , I hope there are many listening , heeding and sharing your visions , sometimes it's hard giving birth to and living in the reality of newer dimensions , which only freedom of information will bring about . And an understanding of the people themselves of what is the true destiny they can forge beyond the confines of medievalism and dogma. A pro-active Pax (...and perhaps a cyber "Pax Encarta" too)

<<Baghdad will fall, there will be no street battles with the exception of his cronies the presidential guards who may defend him, but at price they will sell him. I will ere on the side of caution and think that Saddam will fall when US forces will start action, the run from Kuwait to outskirts of Baghdad will be straight. Who knows may Iraqi ordinary divisions may not join the invasion to over throw him like what happened in Afghanistan, >> siliconinvestor.com MSNBC reporting today... THE TROOPS, comprising two Special Operations Task Forces with an undetermined number of personnel, have been in and out of Iraq for well over a month, said two military officials with direct knowledge of their activities. They are laying the groundwork for conventional U.S. forces that could quickly seize large portions of Iraq if President Bush gives a formal order to go to war, the officials said. PLAN: ENCIRCLE BAGHDAD- The ground operation points to a Pentagon war plan that is shaping up to be dramatically different than the one carried out by the United States and its allies in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Instead of beginning with a massive aerial bombardment, the plan envisions a series of preliminary ground actions to seize Iraqi territory and effectively encircle Baghdad before a large-scale air campaign hits the capital, defense officials and analysts said. “It’s possible that ground movements could come in and occupy large portions of Iraq almost unimpeded,” said one person familiar with Pentagon planning. In northern Iraq, “We might get to the outskirts of Tikrit without firing a shot.” Tikrit, a city north of Baghdad, is Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s ancestral home and a major base of his power.
