But it does seem to me that the US strategy hasn't changed an iota since GWB ushered in the new PNAC century. Some tactics changed, but not strategy.
I don't think the PNAC strategy, and aim, will win out. I don't think it *can* win out. But I think it can do a whole hell of a lot of damage before self-destruction is complete.
