Jim,

>1) Assure the military supremacy of the U.S. for ever more, taking whatever actions may be necessary to do so;

This behavior seems to be not recent. People have indicated me the book "Killing Hope: U. S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II", by William Blum, if I wanted to learn more about.

PS. Amazing how bad stuff about US government "strategy" and propaganda has come to light after the beginning of the Iraq war. I wonder if the american people is aware of it, though all can't be lies.
