From Wickipedia: Bwaahaa haaaaa.....


Founded by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, is a Washington, DC based think tank. The group was established in spring 1997 as a non-profit organization with the goal of promoting "American global leadership". The chairman is William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and FOX News regular. The group is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project, a non-profit 501c3 organization that is funded by the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation and the Bradley Foundation. [1]

Present and former members include several prominent members of the Republican Party and Bush Administration, including Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, Richard Perle, Richard Armitage, Lewis Libby, William J. Bennett, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Ellen Bork, the wife of Robert Bork. A large number of its ideas and its members are associated with the neoconservative movement. PNAC has seven full-time staff members, in addition to its board of directors.

The PNAC is quite controversial. Some have raised concerns that the project has been proposing military and economic domination of land, space, and cyberspace by the United States, so as to establish American dominance in world affairs (Pax Americana) for the future—hence the term "the New American Century", based on the idea that the 20th century was the American Century. Some analysts argue that the U.S. war against Iraq, commenced in March of 2003 under the code name Operation Iraqi Freedom, is the first major step toward implementing these objectives.

According to DUmmieLand, "The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is founded by Robert Kagan and William Kristol and funded by three foundations closely tied to Persian Gulf oil and weapons and defense industries "

it is hard to keep conspiracies straight. I thought Karl Rove was behind everything.

What's wrong with Pax Americana? It is preferable to Pax Khilafahna or Pax Canukistania or whatever kind of Pax one could make out of the wimps in the EU.

Pax Americana may not be perfect but it's better then any of the alternatives I can see.

If liberals want to sell themselves into slavery, fine! Move to Sudan or any of the number of Islamo-fascist states that still practice slavery, but you have no right to sell me.

I wonder just what would be wrong with that. It seems like America would be the perfect roll model for the rest of the world.
