Dear Editor,
How silly of us to think that Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and Stephen Cambone would have time to pay attention to the incarceration and torture of a couple or a couple thousand Iraqis. These people have many more important things to think about, as outlined in the Project for a New American Century.
In addition to establishing a "substantial American force presence in the Gulf, there's the need to control space and the internet, to keep our allies from getting more powerful, and to promote regime change in China, North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran, to name just a few.
Then, of course, there's the possibility that "advanced forms of biological warfare" will be able to "target" specific genotypes and "transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool." Which, I guess, lets us know that the definition of terror depends on who's doing the dirty deed.
Since George W. Bush ran on a platform calling for an American pull-back from its global involvement, while William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton is listed right along with the other proponents of the Poject for a New American Century, maybe the mess in Iraq is Clinton's fault, after all. But then, how come George W. Bush has brought all those other people into his Administration? Did he not know what they were up to?
