Joni recently stated "We're marching into war. That means we've become an imperialist power, which goes against everything America stands for. It all comes down to personal economic interest."
She may be referring, in part, to The Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a Washington-based think tank created in 1997 & their September 2000 publication called "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century." http://www.newamericancentury.org/publicationsreports.htm "We aim to make the case and rally support for American global leadership...a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad...it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge..." http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm PNAC members include founding members Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle. The ideological father is Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. Bruce Jackson is a PNAC director who served as a Pentagon official for Ronald Reagan before leaving government service to take a leading position with the weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Jeb Bush is also a member. ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ******************************************** "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
