Welcome to the New American Century

[Recycled from 11:03AM, 28 January 2005]

The sun was bright and the sky was clear as I climbed the lookout tower this morning. I intended to post a message rigtht away, but first I fiddled around with my e-mail, and then darned a couple of socks while listening to the Books on Tape edition of A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin. Eventually I opened an e-mail from Act For Change and found something I really ought to blog about.

Back when I first heard of the Project for a New American Century, I was skeptical. True, they called for trumping up an invasion of Iraq on whatever flimsy premise was available, and true, the group included people who are now pulling levers behind the curtain, but that didn't necessarily mean that the Project's wider goals of war in a dozen nations and global hegemony were going to be Bush administration policy.

But then Act For Change passed the word to me about Seymour Hersch's article in the New Yorker.

Oh, crumb. It's all true.
