Link.

I'm curious - is this for real? Is it feasible? Desirable? Do these guys really have the influence on US policy that some believe or is it another Illuminati theory cropping up?

American leadership is good both for America and for the world

such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle

too few political leaders today are making the case for global leadership.
Subsitiute Amreican for Nazi/Soviet and it still reads well...

Do people really think like this?!

I see nothing wrong with this. Every nation should try to be all it can be.

Question Mark

The PNAC is just another Illuminati-type group. They do have some influence on foreign and military policy, but not nearly as much influence as the Carlsyle Group. Just ignore them and let them enjoy their delusions of grandeur.

They're really not as mystical as all that. They're the definitive neo-cons.

"a policy of military strength and moral clarity"

For example, only involves invasion and global restructuring. America is perfect, and the world needs to accommodate itself to it. Didn't you hear?

You'll note corrolations between this organization's beliefs and actions from the White House, but not in what the White House actually says. The appointees are freer to voice their opinions, which have made them popular...like political rock-star John Bolton. (heheh)

Started by people who are ignorant to the fact that the American century has ended, and the ball has moved ever westward, always slouching toward Bethlehem.

I've always wondered, does China have policy groups like this as well, or is it a Western phenomena?
