The New American Century

Impressively animated tidbit regarding the neoconservative movement.



I had never heard of this New American Century project until now. From the website:
The Project for the New American Century is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to a few fundamental propositions: that American leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle.

I love how they call it an "educational organization." Like it's a group of PTA members and librarians asking the world to give the US a chance.

I'm thinking it's not so innocuous as all that, though. The domination/"leadership" of one country over the rest of the world is a good thing, huh? ...So that the correct "morality" can be dispensed?

...Sounds familiar. You know, the German people were pretty willing to turn a blind eye, too.
