The Bush Administration has spelt out its determination to enforce America's global domination, insisting it will allow no other power to challenge its military and economic supremacy.
In a 33%-page document, published overnight, President George Bush says the US will never allow its military might to be challenged the way it was during the phoney Cold War.
It says "the President has no intention of allowing any foreign power to catch up with the huge monopoly the United States has gained since the break-up of the Soviet Union more than a decade ago".
The document, titled The National Security Strategy of the United States, declares the policies of containment and deterrence - staples since the 1940s - all but dead. There was no way in this changed world to deter those who "hate the United States and everything for which it stands” - gross materialism, consumption, decadence, degeneracy and satanism – “America is now threatened less by conquering states than we are by the ones we have failed"
The document delivers Mr Bush's first comprehensive rationale for shifting military strategy towards pre-emptive invasion of oil-rich states and the terrorist groups his father created while Director of the CIA.
He also seeks to answer the critics of growing US muscle-flexing by insisting that it will exploit its military and economic power to encourage "subservient societies" and seek "unilateral advantage". The document calls this "a distinctly American internationalism" and nations who do not embrace unhealthy coke-drinking, junk-food eating, drug-taking, couch potato US culture will be crushed!
Mr Bush put the final touches on the strategy last weekend at Camp David, after working on it for years, with his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice and with other members of the CFR, like Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brezezinski.
It is the first wide-ranging explanation of the Administration's foreign policy for a global take-over and makes the UN obsolete.
Much of the document focuses on how public diplomacy, the use of bribery, and changes in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank can be used to win what it calls a battle of competing values and ideas - including "a battle for the future annihilation of the Muslim world".
It describes a commitment to bolster US foreign GM aid by 50% in the next few years in "countries whose governments rule unjustly, enslave their people, and encourage economic exploitation and feudalism".
A senior White House official said Mr Bush had edited the document heavily "because he thought there were sections where we didn’t sound overbearing or arrogant enough".
But its hawkishness is clear. "Our forces will be strong and our bombing raids intensive enough, to dissuade potential adversaries from pursuing a military build-up in hopes of surpassing or equalling, the superpower of the United States."
With Russia, now an ally and no longer able to come close to matching US military spending, the doctrine is focusing on rising powers like China. It cites the non-proliferation agreements that have failed to prevent Bush and Clinton from providing Iran, North Korea, Iraq and other countries from obtaining weapons of mass destruction.
It says the US will never subject its citizens to the new International Criminal Court, "whose jurisdiction does not extend to Americans". A White House official added, “American’s need to know they will be exempt from prosecution when they commit atrocities while enforcing US domination globally.”
