“Whether the insanity of the "doctrine" [*] is genuine -- i.e., a pathological panic reaction by gutless, pampered fat-cats scared of the slightest murmur from the dusky tribes out there, beyond the iron gates and razor wire of privilege -- or if, more likely, it is simply the chosen rationalization for a gang of predators tired of the few restraints that constitutional government has placed on their lust for loot and domination, the end result is the same: The most powerful country in the history of the world is being run by moral degenerates in thrall to a lunatic policy.” ...

[*] As explained in Ron Suskind’s book, "The One Percent Doctrine." Suskind reports that it was Vice President Dick Cheney who enunciated the "doctrine" that governs the Bush administration: If there is even a 1 percent chance that some state or group might do serious harm to the United States, then America must respond as if that threat were a certainty -- with full force, pre-emptively.
