Bekijk het PNAC(Project for The New American Century) eens, dan begrijp je misschien ook waarom er zoveel mensen moesten sterven.
http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdfVoor diegene die niet weten wat het PNAC is:
Het Project for the New American Century (PNAC, Project voor de Nieuwe Amerikaanse Eeuw) is een Amerikaanse, neoconservatieve denktank. PNAC werd in 1997 opgericht door het New Citizenship Project als organisatie die zich het wereldwijde Amerikaanse leiderschap tot doel stelt.....

http://www.knife-party.net/flash/barry.htmlIk heb het document eens doorgelezen en er een paar belangrijke quotes uitgehaald.
"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 Harbour."
"American military preeminence will continue to rest in significant part on the ability to maintain sufficient land forces to achieve political goals such as removing a dangerous andhostile regime when necessary"
"Advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool" (p. 60).
"Indeed, in time, American and allied power in the region may provide a spur to the process of democratization inside China itself….A heightened U.S. military presence in Southeast Asia would be a strong spur to regional security cooperation, providing the core around which a de facto coalition could jell" (pp. 18-19).
"As the 20th century draws to a close, the United States stands as the world’s most preeminent power. Having led the West to victory in the Cold War, America faces an opportunity and a challenge: Does the United States have the vision to build upon the achievement of past decades? Does the United States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American principles and interests?"
"What we require is] 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."
"In the Persian Gulf region, the presence of American forces, along with British and French units, has become a semi-permanent fact of life"
"Raising U.S. military strength in East Asia is the key to coping with the rise of China to great-power status
" In this regard, the Pentagon should be very wary of making large investments in new programs – tanks, planes, aircraft carriers, for example – that would commit U.S. forces to current paradigms of warfare for many decades to come" (p. 13)."PNAC leden hebben 4 kernmissies opgesteld die noodzakelijk zijn voor het bereiken van hun doel.
- Fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;
- Defend the American homeland;
- Perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in
critical regions;
- Transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs;”
