It's hard to take the author seriously when he asserts that
neocon strategy is intrinsically incoherent. Stupid, yes, bloodthirsty,
of course - but one need only read a couple of position papers to get
the flavor.
And it's not {solely or even primarily} about oil for the neocons.
Of course, Zbig et al. aren't, strictly speaking, neocons, and it's
tough to know just who is calling the shots - there may well be
competing factions. None of them seem to consider making deals and
spending $ on alternative energy, space exploration, etc. as being wiser
courses.
Of course, americans show no signs of rebelling against their Orwellized Republic - so be always drunken, I guess...
