Like Hitler, "President" Bush would like to expand his empire. If he doesn't it will collapse, like Japan. There are a couple blueprints around that you can read. Neil Mackay wrote about one in The Sunday Herald (Scotland), September 15, 2002, in an article titled ''Bush Planned Iraq 'Regime Change' Before Becoming President."  And there's more.
      Citation from the Sunday Herald:
     ''This is a blueprint for US world domination -- a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing."
    ''The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defense secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

Wonderful . . .  So, what is PNAC?
 

What A Fun Name. Now, you see, it's time to expand the empire by usurping and colonizing, not just the earthly terrain, but time itself, in much the same way Hitler took the name "The 1000 Year Reich." The spin and manipulation is marvelous. Here is PANIC's... oops, make that PNAC's statement of purpose:

      ''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; that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle; and that too few political leaders today are making the case for global leadership.

You have got to admire the wordplay. We did this in gradeschool and it's lots of fun. The inference is that the US is dedicated to diplomacy and since diplomacy is so vulnerable there is a need for a military backup. (Question: How many diplomatic missions to Iraq has the US embarked upon in the past century? Answer: Zero.)
 

Here's an idea. Why not re-issue the F-16 under the name of F-16MP (for Moral Principle). This could be done by simply placing a bible on the dashboard of each plane. Or in the glove compartment, let's not quibble. Next, manufacture a line of neutron bombs and biologic weapons under the "Diplomacy" trademark. Wouldn't that give a whole lot more substance to PNAC's statement? I think so.
 
 

Now we're talking. Iraq, Syria, Jordan and the rest of Asia will really be getting a taste of U.S. Diplomacy.
 

Regarding this Moral Principle thing, I encountered a citation from Ziauddin Sardar written in 1998 that may have some relevance to the situation today ("Asian Values are Human Values" New Statesman, 17 April, p. 26):

    ''Concepts of law, society, probity, tolerance, justice, equity, the
good citizen, and the good life, as well as attitudes to our fellow
creatures and our environment, were formulated in Asia centuries before
the west assumed its arrogant mission to civilise non-western societies.
    The emphasis of Confucius, for example, on building a civic
society by concentrating on social relationships and social harmony, and
his insistence on righteous behaviour in politics, could teach volumes
to new Labor and latter-day communitarians."
 

You want U.S. Moral Principle? Here is the embodyment of U.S. Moral Principle:
    Harken, WorldCom, Enron Corporation, Tyco International, Computer Associates, ImClone Systems, Arthur Andersen, AoL, Avon, Johnson & Johnson, CitiBank, JP Morgan Chase (+ 12 other banks), Global Crossing, Vivendi, QWest, Invensys, Xerox, Merck, Halliburton, and any Savings and Loan association.
