Neocons: Don't stop now
New book urges Bush to push regime change, keep an eye on US Muslims, and not to create Palestinian state
By Tom Regan | csmonitor.com
Neoconservatives Richard Perle and David Frum don't want the US to back down from its aggressive positions in the war on terror. Not now.

As President Bush turns more towards diplomacy to deal with international problems (the chosen path of one of Mr. Frum's and Mr. Perle's least favorite people , Secretary of State Colin Powell), the authors see this as a mistake.
In their new book, an " An end to evil: How to win the war on terror ," the two men argue, among many other things:
France is really more an enemy than an ally of the US and that European nations must be forced to choose between Paris and Washington
Muslims living in the US must be given special scrutiny by US law enforcement and other Americans
The US must overthrow the regimes in Iran and Syria, and impose a blockade on North Korea
Palestinians must not be allowed to have a state
All Americans must carry a government issued identity card
The US must explicitly reject the jurisdiction of the United Nations Charter. ...

Even though we've made a mess in Iraq, these stupid chicken hawks urge more war and bloodshed. I'm sure this is the blueprint for the next four years if the Bushits are allowed to remain in power. These guys are complete sociopaths and must be stopped!! BTW, note the call for Americans to carry a national id card.

2. Saw him on C-Span for only a moment

He was simply vomiting out his words in a torrent, speaking so rapidly, so ungracefully, with so little actual thought I believed he acted like someone with a guilty conscience who is trying to pull a fast one.

Turned him and that evil Richard Perle off. I simply couldn't bear to both see their vile faces and actually listen to their psychotic, geneocidal ravings as well.

HOWEVER, if someone more patient has grasped what it is he thinks he can push over on us, I'd really like to read about it.

I'll have to check this thread regularly. Thank you for bringing it up, Emilleried.

3. Although it would probably be difficult frustrating read

it's probably important that we know what these assholes are thinking and planning.

4. I'm ashamed that Frum used to be Canadian.

I think he was born Canadian, if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately, even the far-rightism creeping into my country was too leftist for Frum's fascistical arse, so he crept up outta here.

I'm really, really sorry for exporting this guy. He's a national embarassment.

5. The article is good. Thanks. So Frum created the term "Axis of Evil!" n/t

8. Couldn't afford to buy the book

Down to my last $35 and had to choose between the book and $35 worth of confetti.

9. I just bought it

Thought I would post excerpts and my impressions as I read.

"The Project for the New American Century"

Enter Saddam Hussein

<SNIP>

A little background is necessary: In June of 1997 a group of former republican administration officials launched The Project for the New American Century, a think tank offering research and analysis on a “revolution” in modern military methods and military objectives. Like the energy task force, the passionate neo-conservative authors endowed their Principles with hard-hitting force, calling for the necessity of “preserving and extending an international order friendly” to America’s “security, prosperity and principles.” The founders wrote: “The history of the 20th Century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge and to meet threats before they become dire.” In fact, on pages 51 and 67 of the institution’s intellectual centerpiece, Rebuilding America’s Defenses, the authors lament that the process of transforming the military would most likely be a long one, “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” (How unfortunate for Americans, they got their needed event on September 11, 2001.)

The signers to the “principles” read like a who’s who of the Bush administration plus a chorus line of supporters: Dick Cheney, I. Lewis Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Elliott Abrams, plus world famous: William Bennett, Jeb Bush, and Dan Quayle, among others.

The signers endorsed two other dynamic enabling policies: increased military spending, and the necessity of challenging “regimes hostile to America’s interests and values.”

The seventy-six-page Rebuilding America’s Defenses was published in 2000. With a lot of expositional swagger, the authors created not only the ideal military preparedness level for their goal of global domination, but they identified a new kind of warfare that requires far less “force” than the military was accustomed to accept. What’s more, they identified the “hostile regimes” mentioned in the “Principles” to be none other than Iraq, North Korea, Iran and Syria.
