check out those PNAC links if you think i'm making all of this up.
also an eye should be kept out for the defence journals, the industry publications, etc. - the stuff that the pros read. lots of ideas get floated there, like this one to redraw the entire mideast:

As for those who refuse to "think the unthinkable," declaring that boundaries must not change and that's that, it pays to remember that boundaries have never stopped changing through the centuries. Borders have never been static, and many frontiers, from Congo through Kosovo to the Caucasus, are changing even now (as ambassadors and special representatives avert their eyes to study the shine on their wingtips).
Oh, and one other dirty little secret from 5,000 years of history: Ethnic cleansing works. |
Why did you highlight ethnic cleansing works? Are you saying the US is adopting that policy? That statement in the article isn't even referring to the US and Arabs. It's referring to Kurds, Civil wars in Africa, etc... It also said that the borders will redraw themselves naturally over time due to the will of the people. The guy was saying it would be nice if countries weren't so bent on keeping their land and maybe their wouldbe peace ie. give the 30 million Kurds in the Mideast a country or Israel pull back into pre-67 land. You completely misread what that guy was saying so I guess I'll take it the rest of your research was as dead on as this exercise in reading comprehension...
