from PNAC Statement of Principles;
newamericancentury.org

• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values;

Are our ties with allies stronger now than pre 2000?

• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad;

We propose to sell the illusion of economic freedom (both domestically and internationally) while failing to root out our own domestic structural favoritism? Or even propose transitional paths? Ahh, there are more serious concerns for world leadership, I suppose.

I don't see how current administration actions support these principles put forth by PNAC. Therefore, I would be reluctant to pin responsibility on PNAC. (plausible deniability?)

• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.

Hopefully with a humble eye on our own failability...

A rather unsightly mess for a successor to sort out;

Yet I see little light at the end of the tunnel, presuming re-election leaves the current engineers at the helm.
