Brzezinski in his own words, from The Grand Chessboard (1997):

“Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.” (p. 211)

“The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its decisive arbitration role.” (p. 198)

“It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America’s power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public’s sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.” (p.35)

The imperialist Dem PNAC policies are led by Biden and Bzrezinski, which Obama has indicated that he is going to follow.  The NYTimes has supplied a platform for Kristal and the other imperialist Prgressives are gearing up for more war and military expenditures.

Gates recently announced a new policy to increase and update nuclear weapons, which has been sanitized from the imperalist progressive opposition.  Militarily Obiden appears as if he is going to pursue the War on Terrorism, the third term of Bush.
