PNAC

I haven't talked very much about the Project For a New American Century (PNAC) before, except in general terms, because I have never actually read any of their position papers. Maybe I should. I was just alerted to this little gem in a report titled REBUILDING AMERICA'S DEFENSES: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century (warning: large PDF file if you click this link). "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor." (pg. 51) Whoah! Who would have thought they would have been so close to the mark on that point! (sarcasm alert)
