On the 23rd of October 2004, American Troops
will have been in Iraq longer than American Troops were involved in World War I (according to George Will). Just another factoid to batter my ignoneigbors with which include:

FUCK NO, SEPTEMBER 11TH DIDN'T CHANGE EVERYTHING

FUCK NO, MY FAMILY IS NOT SAFER WITH LITTLE SADDAM IN JAIL

AND MY LIST GOES ON

FORWARD MARCH, TEAMMATES.

1. This notion that we're safer with saddam in jail
Is just pure nonsense. We're no safer with him in jail than we are with Milosevich in jail, but at least we all knew why we went to Bosnia. We didn't need our president to lie to us about it, and we didn't lose any American lives to capture him. So put that in your freeper "mind altering" pipe and smoke it.

CONSIDERING that in 1997 a Washington (D.C.) think-tank was founded, the “Project for the New American Century” (PNAC), aimed at promoting “American leadership worldwide”,

MINDFUL that in 2000 and 2001, reports have been adopted in the framework of PNAC, which proclaim that American hegemony should be realised by a tremendous growth in the defense budget; "by fighting and decisvely winning, multiple simultaneous major theater wars"; by deterring all potential competing powers and by permanent military presence all over the planet, particularly in the Gulf;

WORRIED by the disastrous impact of the war against Iraq on the Middle-East Region and in the Arab world, by the instability it has brought to international relations and all the disastrous implications for the entire planet;

ALARMED by the threats that the PNAC and National Security Strategy may hold for the future, and by the fact that other “preventive wars” may be decided and carried out in the near future against so-called “rogue States” or other States perceived to be a threat to US national security; and

WILLING to assess the risks and threats that the abovementioned US policies may hold for the world in the years to come in an extensive and informed manner,
