A NEW PEARL HARBOR: Greg, Re: Is there something on that site that says we should induce terrorists to attack the WTC so we can use that as a pretext for global domination? If you read page 51 of "Rebuilding America's Defenses", a PNAC white paper that called for attacking Iraq in September, 2000, you'll read the following words: 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. Domestic politics and industrial policy will shape the pace and content of transformation as much as the requirements of current missions. ****** Yes, PNAC speculates that a new "Pearl Harbor" would be quite useful for the transformation to Empire that they espouse. Or you might enjoy the PNAC view of what constitutes America's new frontier, from page 15: "American armed forces stationed abroad and on rotational deployments around the world should be considered as the first line of American defenses, providing reconnaissance and security against the prospect of larger crises and conducting stability operations to prevent their outbreak. These forces need to be among the most ready, with finely honed warfighting skills – and only forces configured for combat indicate the true American commitment to our allies and their security interests – but they also need to be highly versatile and mobile with a broad range of capabilities; they are the cavalry on the new American frontier." ********* In short, everything you've ever read about a new evil empire based on military domination of the planet is already being thought through by the PNAC crowd. They mean to dominate the planet, and I do mean mean. -Ray Source: raytal.com
