Total disintegration of order is what BushCo wants
I am not kidding. Well, maybe they don't exactly want it, but they know a certain amount of it is inevitable as their plan for the New American Century unfolds.

I don't know where I read it, and unfortunately, bookmarks -- thousands of 'em -- are about the only thing on my computer which didn't survive a recent hard crash. Anyway, in the article I read, one of the omnipresent think tankers was pointing out that the mission BushCo is on is massive in scale, and that is the primary reason he never backs down, never admits mistakes, never waivers...he/they know what they are doing is so grandiose in scale that it will take a long time, and -- this is the part that stood out most in my mind -- that all major societal shifts in history came with a certain cost in pain and suffering among the masses. He can't back down, because it's nowhere near over yet, at least in PNAC's collective mind.

Be it America after the Great Depression, or whatever other historical comparison you can conjur, large numbers of people migrate, suffer, die, but eventually adapt to the new reality which emerges. A government cannot give an address saying "I am changing the world next week. By Thursday, I want everybody to be enrolled in job re-training, because I'm shipping all your work to India." All Bush can do is smile, pretend everything is fine, and perhaps do something to mitigate the suffering.

Obviously, this is where PNAC's plan fails, as they've promoted as their figurehead/puppet a man so completely devoid of ability to show compassion, his reckless arrogance just might actually turn out being their undoing.

We can only hope. And hope that the undoing comes before more of the "suffering" component of BushCo's social cleansing claims the lives of more innocents.
