i have neither the time nor inclination to keep discussing this with you as you merely keep jumping from topic to topic every time i refute your nonsense. i just wanted to point out that

this is completely wrong, shows you havent even read the PNAC document. it says nothing of the sort, and im tired of your ignorant quote-mining ways. the quote you are bastardising here was talking about military technology and certainly wasn't talking about a pearl harbour attack to galvanise the populace into war 
| quote: |
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor". |
"The odd word here seems to be "transformation". What do they mean? Let's look back to the beginning of the same chapter."
| quote: |
"To preserve American military preeminence in the coming decades, the Department of Defense must move more aggressively to experiment with new technologies and operational concepts, and seek to exploit the emerging revolution in military affairs. Information technologies,in particular, are becoming more prevalent and significant components of modern military systems. These information technologies are having the same kind of transforming effects on military affairs as they are having in the larger world. The effects of this military transformation will have profound implications for how wars are fought, what kinds of weapons will dominate the battlefield and, inevitably, which nations enjoy military preeminence". |
"So "transformation" refers to the process of introducing more information technologies into the military. What does 9/11 have to do with that? Nothing at all. In fact, the attacks demonstrated that one of the PNAC's pet schemes, a global missile shield, is entirely useless when planes can become bombs."
