The world is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. In the wake of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, in the largest display of military might since World War II, the United States has embarked upon a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity.

This war agenda was clearly enunciated in the blue-print of global conquest entitled a "Project for a New American Century", published in September 2000, a few months prior to the accession of George W. Bush to the White House.

The objectives of the PNAC's blueprinting entitles "Rebuilding America's Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resiurces for a New Century, is to "fight and decisively win multiple simultaneous theatre wars". This Road Map to Empire, which is fully endorsed by the Bush administration not only envisages direct military ation against so-called "rogue states" (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya and North Kores), it also targets China and Russia as potentioal rivals in a global war "without borders."

On Hiroshima day, 6th of August 2003, the Pentagon's top military brass were meeting behind closed doors at Strategic Command Headquarters at the Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska, with representatives of the America's multibillion weapons industry, to define a new generation of nuclear weapons, to be used on a "pre-emptive" basis (eg. for self defence) against "rogue enemies" and terrorist orgnizations.

This new nuclear policy, which has already been approved by the US Senate, asserts, without supporting evidence, that the new "mini-nukes" (with an explosive capacity between one third to six times a Hiroshima bomb) to be used in conventional war theatres, are "harmless to civilians" because the explosion takes place underground.

Ironically, in this Strangelovian logic, nuclear weapons are now viewed as a means to ensuring peace and global security. They are being developed to prevent so-called "rogue enemies" and "terrorist organizations" from using their (non-existent) "weapons of mass destrucion (WMDs) against America and its allies. In this context, the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center are used as the pretext. Al Qaeda and Osame bin Laden are presented both in official statements and in the media as a justification for waging war.

While debate cencerning Washington's nuclear weapons is relagated to the inner pages of the newspapers, the headlines and tabloids have been cluttered with thousands of repetitive stories on Iraq's (non-existent) weapons of mass destruction and the alleged links of Saddam to Osama bin laden.

Public opinion has been blatantly misled. At this juncture of our history, these US plans using the most advanced and sophisticated WMDs, constitute the gretaest threat to global security. Washington's programs as outlined in the PNAC is stated quite openly: "to ensure US political and economic domination of the World, while strangling any potential rival or "alternative" to America's vision of a "free market" economy."
