You have the wrong impression.
We do have strategic interests and treaty obligations around the world.
We should not appoint ourselves the "leaders" of the entire world and use our
superior military ability to impose that leadership where it is not wanted.
The purpose of the military is to protect the homeland and our strategic
allies, not to expand the commercial or moral "empire".
Read the site. I suspect you've never delved deeper than the "Statement of
Priniciples". When you have made a study of the entire PNAC program, we'll be
on the same playing field in this discussion.
Before we start arguing the merits of each individual article on the
site, I think it's fair to discuss the principles of the organization.
We started with your comments shaping circumstances for favorable
outcomes, which you found arrogant. However, from later posts it seems
you agree with that statement.
