Yup Cow, PNAC is something to be just swept aside. When the fringe element get into a position of power like they are its okay to laugh it off like that. Use your head for something other than a seat cushion buddy. I know its really hard for you an all, but pull your head out of your ass and tell me how it is a good thing when you have a bunch of self proclaimed militarists (who themselves dodged the draft and refused to serve) with visions of exporting their version of Democracy, throgh military might, running the show? National strength though military might? Jesus, that's just what the Nazi's believed in you moron! You're going to tell me that having an organization that promotes the ideals of meddling in other's affairs as a methodology for promoting global stability is a good thing?
The scary thing is that these clowns are following the same frame work the Nazi's used as well. They've whipped the nation into a patriotic fever and call down anyone who disagrees with them as being unpatriotic and an enemy of the state. They've cornered the media into not speaking against them for fear of being branded liberals and enemies of the state. They've got a plan of how they are going to conquer the Middle East and they're working towards that. The focus then turns to the Far East and a standoff with N. Korea and China. They are going to mach on spreading the "American Dream" of Capitalism and Democrasy to the unwashed masses. This is going to turn out good in what way?

Who's sweeping it aside? I was the one who brought it up in case you didn't notice.
I was just overly concerned about your time management skills and wanted to save you all that typing when you were copying stuff out of your books.
In terms of your original premise, you've said that if people "knew all the facts about what went on" in terms of the PNAC agenda, then they would never have voted for the Bush/Cheney ticket.
I would argue that knowing the PNAC agenda might have made the average American more liable to vote for Bush/Cheney in 2000.
In fact, by your own admission you've indicated that the only answer the average American has to a foreign problem is "nuke 'em" so its a little far-fetched on your part to suggest knowledge of PNAC and its agenda would alter votes massively towards the doves.
Actually, it looks like we agree on that.
