You like the FBI book? My position on the PNAC has softened somewhat. Back when the neocons were ruling the roost it struck me as straight-up Doctor Evil stuff but with a little more immersion into political history, I see it as nothing more than a continuation of The Great Game. If you presume that geopolitics is a zero-sum game, conquest of the Middle East to secure what oil is left and prevent it from aiding China, Europe or Russia makes a lot of sense. The problem is in presuming that geopolitics is a zero-sum game.
