Project for the New American Century

Written 13 November 2013 from internet search:-
Wes Clark, former NATO Supreme Commander, 4 star General, US Army (retd) said:
He believes NATO should have attacked Afghanistan.  It was not to be one of the seven countries to be attacked in five years as part of the Project for the New American Century to destabilise the Middle East.

7 countries: Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Lebanon and Sudan.
1991 Desert Storm to oust Saddam from Kuwait.
"The purpose of the military is to start wars."
"The purpose of government is to start wars, change governments and to destabilise the Middle East.  Not to deter conflict but to invade countries and to have a Pentagon hit list."
No peacekeeping, no nation building.

Project for New American Century was initiated by Richard Perl, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumpsfeld, Dick Cheney.

March 1991 Shia uprising.  Where?

SELF:  I do find it suspicious that it is always the Christian West that is so good and perfect (except for Hitler) and the Muslim Arabs (except our valuable ally that uses beheading, Saudi Arabia) are always so wicked when they use violence against us (especially beheadings).  Only we are the ones who are allowed to use violence/terrorism and to kill in order to stop the killing of our own.

from Wikipedia:
Wolfowitz Doctrine is an unofficial name given to the initial version of the Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–99 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992) authored by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz and his deputy Scooter Libby. Not intended for public release, it was leaked to the New York Times on March 7, 1992,[1] and sparked a public controversy about U.S. foreign and defense policy. The document was widely criticized as imperialist as the document outlined a policy of unilateralism and pre-emptive military action to suppress potential threats from other nations and prevent any other nation from rising to superpower status.
Such was the outcry that the document was hastily re-written under the close supervision of U.S. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell before being officially released on April 16, 1992. Many of its tenets re-emerged in the Bush Doctrine,[2]which was described by Senator Edward M. Kennedy as "a call for 21st century American imperialism that no other nation can or should accept."[3]

Here is unilateralism related to attack or pre-emptive military action.  Very much more of this kind of unilateralism than my kind which is to give up the most immoral, civilian wipe out of total destruction that is nuclear weapons.

Attack unilateralists are the problem.
