Have you read about The Project for the New American Century? Dick Cheney, Bush snr and Jnr, other tops who's names escape me...
Publicly stated principle that America should lead the world politically and m,ilitarily, and to acheive those aims in whatever way is reaquired.
Do a google search. You'll find... "that American leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle. "
And that is just the gentle public face.
The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is a neo-conservative think tank with strong ties to the American Enterprise Institute. PNAC's web site says it was "established in the spring of 1997" as "a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership."
For leadership read Domination. It has learned bothing from the mistakes of the Romans or Brits, and want's it's own Empire.
Last Quote.....
"The blueprint for our current foreign policy was being written back in 1992 by then-Defense Secretary, Dick Cheney. His writings set out a new doctrine that called for U.S. power in the twentieth century, to be that of an aggressive and unilateral approach that would secure American dominance of world affairs by force if necessary. This "peace through strength" policy has been unfolding from the day Bush, Jr. took office; the strategic planning of it was done during the Clinton administration with funding from the military-industrial complex, energy companies, and right-wing foundations. Over time, those working on these new plans evolved into PNAC, established in 1997 with members Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz at the helm. May God help us!"
