The Project for the New American Century (PNAC)
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, and I. Lewis Libby,
are all in high positions in our government, and they're also in this
organization, called the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
It's a Think tank based in Washington that is designed to advocate policy
direction for the government, now that they're all part of the government
they have a special kind of access. These are their ideas, this is the policy
of our administration.
William Rivers Pitt: 02/25/03
"The Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, is a Washington-based
think tank created in 1997. Above all else, PNAC desires and demands
one thing: The establishment of a global American empire to bend the will
of all nations. They chafe at the idea that the United States, the last
remaining superpower, does not do more by way of economic and military
force to bring the rest of the world under the umbrella of a new
socio-economic Pax Americana."

"One could continue traditional diplomacy on behalf of American ends --
the kind of polite, well-disguised defense of U.S. interests (largely corporate)
and imperial ambition carried out under Bush#1, Reagan, Clinton, et al. --
knowing that we'd mostly get our way eventually given our status as the globe's
only Superpower. Or one could try to speed up the process and accomplish those
same ends overtly -- with an attitude of arrogance and in-your-face bullying
-- within maybe one or two Republican administrations."

"We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan
Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both
present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully
promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the
United States' global responsibilities."
