They seem to think they can control the Middle East with brute force and cut off industrializing China and India. They could have done that without invading. They could have cut evil deals, and worked enormous harm through diplomacy. That lacks the meoldrama they need, but it's effective. Instead, they just had to indulge themselves with crackpot think tank schemes. If I “hated America”, I’d be encouraging the PNAC peeps to overextend.
