secret underground conspiracy... revealed!

It's pretty easy to look at the way the Bush administration has been acting since 2000 and accuse them of imperialism, of working for American global dominance under the guise of "spreading democracy" or "liberating countries" or whatever. But the funny thing is, all these take-over-the-world plans of theirs are actually right out in the open for anyone to see!

The Project For The New American Century is a non-profit group in Washington whose goal is to promote "American global leadership". That's right, they just came right out and said it! But if you want to get really creeped out, check out this partial list of current and former members:
  • Donald Rumsfeld
  • Paul Wolfowitz
  • Jeb Bush
  • Richard Perle
  • Richard Armitage
  • Dick Cheney
So although the Bush administration does a fine job of at least avoiding discussion of these kinds of things, the fact that this group exists, and involves top Bush administrators, and was gunning for the U.S. to invade Iraq as far back as 2000 (the idea itself, of course, is much older) is public knowledge. Heck, the PNAC even has its own website! Here's an inspiring excerpt:
We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities.
