:PNAC's stated goal is to promote global American leadership (which they call "Pax Americana"),
:"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor"
:The above statement is taken from Section V of "Rebuilding America's Defenses," a document which they published in September 2000. [[9/11 conspiracy theories|Conspiracy theorists]] claim that this quote implies foreknowledge of [[9/11]].
Someone is trying to make this group look bad. I'd rather they would not try to use the authority of the encyclopedia for this.
It would be better to give voice to named critics. Like,
*fellow conservative Ima Throwback siad PNAC was "a scary group trying to make a Taliban-like hegemony over the ignorant people of the world"; or,
*liberal opponent Teeny B. Rain said, "Like all things American, this group uses power to stifle opposing thought."
Try again, please.
