Why WWIII Is On The Horizon<\/a><\/h3>\n

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 gave birth to a dangerous American ideology called neoconservativism. The Soviet Union had served as a constraint on US unilateral action. With the removal of this constraint on Washington, neoconservatives declared their agenda of US world hegemony. America was now the \u201csole superpower,\u201d the \u201cunipower,\u201d that could act without restraint anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post neoconservative journalist Charles Krauthammer summed up the \u201cnew reality\u201d as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have overwheming global power. We are history\u2019s designated custodians of the international system. When the Soviet Union fell, something new was born, something utterly new\u2013a unipolar world dominated by a single superpower unchecked by any rival and with decisive reach in every corner of the globe. This is a stagering new development in history, not seen since the fall of Rome. Even Rome was no model for what America is today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The staggering unipolar power that history has given to Washington has to be protected at all costs. In 1992 top Pentagon official Undersecretary Paul Wolfowitz penned the Wolfowitz Doctrine, which became the basis for Washington\u2019s foreign policy.<\/p>\n

The Wolfowitz Doctrine states that the \u201cfirst objective\u201d of American foreign and military policy is \u201cto prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat [to US unilateral action] on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.\u201d (A \u201chostile power\u201d is a country sufficiently strong to have a foreign policy independent from Washington\u2019s.)<\/p>\n
