In regards to PNAC, did it ever occur to you that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar? Must we travel down the imaginary rabbit hole?

The statement says something very revealing, but not diabolical. The American political conscience has been very neglectful towards the conception of "seizing the unipolar moment". In the 1990s, many Neoconservatives were not sure what to do with the American military, and some, including Irving Kristol displayed a sense of wanting to retire some of the US's military presence in Europe. So not only was America at large debating what it should do, but so were the neocons. A traditional sense of American foreign presence versus liberal internationalism were in conflict during the Clinton administration, and PNAC said, "No, don't retreat, use our democratic principles to shape the world for the better of the United States and the world". They realized that indeed, unless something dramatically tragic were to happen (God forbid), their recommended changes may not happen.

They were in many ways correct, and in some ways, very incorrect in that statement. Does this naturally mean that PNAC, a group of somewhat like-minded individuals could accomplish something so dramatically coordinated and be granted the means at which to do it?

It rests upon the assumption that there is a powerful elite that is stupid, powerful (and...to some, Jewish), and driven to kill its own civilian population for the ideal of Pax Americana.

It's very easy to take a politically obvious statement and make it a conspiracy theory, but to actually put it into practice is incredibly difficult and problematic.
