i just replied to the "thoughts on 911" thread with a bit of this but the more i read, the more scared i become like this part for example:

Our aim is to remind Americans of these lessons and to draw their consequences for today. Here are four consequences:
• we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future;
• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values;
• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad;
• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.
Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not be fashionable today. But it is necessary if the United States is to build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security and our greatness in the next.
then (if you clicked the link) check out the list of people that have a hand in this shit:
Dick Cheney
Jeb Bush
Dan Quayle
Donald Rumsfeld
(i'm not entirely sure who all of the other people are being from Australia and all but just two of those four makes me worry)
