[Vision2020] Project For A New American Century

[Tim Lohrmann]

I didn't hear that interview thank goodness.
 Kristol gets more face time on news shows than all
the armchair generals combined.
  My question is WHY is his little 'STANDARD' magazine
soooo declared to be sooo influential all of a sudden?
I understood it was just another Rupert Murdoch
project and that its circulation is probably about
like that of the M-P DAILY NEWS.
  Wierd times!

Did anyone else hear Terry Gross' interview on Fresh
Air yesterday?  Her second interview was with William
Kristol, who is the chair of the Project for the New
American Century.  He has an abundance of arrogance
and belief in a radical approach that has not been
tried before, and has no history to support it.  He
really does seem to believe that we can create a
democracy in Iraq after this war.  Apparently he
doesn't seem to believe that the fact that no real
democracy has existed there before, or that we are
currently killing them, will be a problem.

The first interviewee, Joseph Cirincione, Senior
Associate and Director, Non-Proliferation Project,
pointed out that the national defense plan Paul
Wolfowitz submitted during the Administration of Bush
I was considered too radical at the time.  Now
Wolfowitz is surrounded by like-minded people, and his
plan for attacking anyone else who we might consider a
threat fits right in.  The folks who used to be on the
fringe are now running the show.  Cirincione pointed
out that this is hardly a conspiracy, since they're
all out in the open, and haven't kept their opinions
secret.  

As you say, Iraq is just the beginning for these
people.
