Mal wieder ein Nazi-Vergleich: Was Hitler und Bush gemeinsam haben

Auch die Russen wollen mal die Nazi-Keule schwingen. Interessant ist der Artikel aber dennoch, auch wenn er mit einer wie immer bei Nazi-Vergleichen unpassenden Konstruktion beginnt:

Adolf Hitler clearly spelled out his plans to destroy the Jews and launch wars of conquest to secure German domination of world affairs in his 1925 book, long before he ever assumed power. Despite the zigzags of rhetoric he later employed, the various PR spins and temporary justifications offered for this or that particular policy, any attentive reader of his vile regurgitation could have divined his intentions as he drove his country -- and the world -- to murderous upheaval.
Similarly -- in method, if not entirely in substance -- the Bush Regime's foreign policy is also being carried out according to a strict blueprint written years ago, then renewed a few months before the Regime was installed in power by the judicial coup of December 2000.(...)

Der Kommentar von Chris Floyd in der "Metropolis Moscow Times" deutet vor allem auf die Pläne des "Think-Tanks" PNAC, die vom Spiegel auch schon ausführlich beleuchtet wurden. Nach diesen Plänen übrigens ist das nächste zu befreiende Land der Iran, das immerhin vorsorglich letztes Jahr schon mal in der "Axis of Evil" aufgenommen wurde.

The documents explain America's relentless march across Afghanistan, Central Asia and soon into the Middle East. They explain the Bush Regime's otherwise unfathomable rejection of international law, its fanatical devotion to so-called missile defense, its gargantuan increases in military spending -- even its antediluvian energy policy, which mandates the continued primacy of oil and gas in the world economy. (They can't conquer the sun or monopolize the wind, so there's no profit, no leverage for personal gain and geopolitical power in pursuing viable alternatives to oil.) The Sept. 11 attacks gave the Regime a pretext for greatly accelerating this published program of global dominance, but they would have pursued it in any case.(...)

Am Ende des Artikels ("It's all there in the text, set down in black and white. Read it and weep.") listet er alle Quellen, die älteste von 1993!, auf, die sich mit den Plänen des "Project for a New American Century" beschäftigen.
