Les n\u00e9o-conservateurs ne se tiennent plus, et toujours proches de Lockheed Martin… Traffic jam on the road to ‘Pax Americana’ & Brave New World<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tLa guerre en Irak provoque des r\u00e9actions diverses mais \u00e0 peine vari\u00e9es dans les milieux n\u00e9o-conservateurs. C’est leur Moment, un moment tant attendu. Nous avons droit \u00e0 diverses publications pour nous en aviser. Nous nous attachons \u00e0 l’une d’entre elles parce qu’elle a, en plus, l’avantage de nous rappeler que Lockheed Martin (LM), le grand comp\u00e8re qui fabrique le F-16, le F-22 et le F-35, n’est jamais tr\u00e8s loin.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCi-dessous, on trouve un texte de Bill Berkowitz, du site dissident WorkingForChange<\/em>, qui pr\u00e9sente, introduit, commente le second texte, de Tom Donnelly celui-l\u00e0 ; respectivement, de \u00ab Traffic jam on the road to Pax Americana<\/em> \u00bb de Berkowitz, publi\u00e9 le 3 avril 2003<\/a> \u00e0 \u00ab Brave New World An Enduring Pax Americana<\/em> \u00bb, qui nous est signal\u00e9 par ce m\u00eame Berkowitz, et qui est publi\u00e9 le 25 mars 2003 par Donnelly<\/a> et par l’American Enterprise Institute. Outre le texte, le point du plus haut int\u00e9r\u00eat est que Donnelly est un homme de Lockheed Martin, comme le signale Berkowitz, comme nous le signalions \u00e0 partir des r\u00e9f\u00e9rences de Jim Lobe en novembre dernier, dans notre rubrique F&C<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tOn constate par cons\u00e9quent que Bruce K. Jackson (voir les derni\u00e8res nouvelles de BKJ sur notre site, dans notre F&C du 22 f\u00e9vrier<\/a>) n’est pas le seul homme de LM \u00e0 avoir \u00e9galement, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de ses activit\u00e9s naturelles d’homme d’influence et de lobbyiste, des activit\u00e9s d’id\u00e9ologue et de penseur \u00e0-la-neo-con<\/em>. Ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne que nous avons tent\u00e9 d’identifier et de d\u00e9finir en le prenant sur son autre versant, dans la logique du d\u00e9veloppement du JSF<\/a> (voir aussi le texte en anglais<\/a>) se v\u00e9rifie de plus en plus. Il se caract\u00e9rise par deux aspects :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s d’armement sont \u00e0 tous les postes de commande (plus seulement influence) dans l’actuelle administration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Leur influence porte sur la substance, sur l’id\u00e9ologie m\u00eame. Non seulement elles sont favorables \u00e0 la guerre mais elles vous expliquent pourquoi il faut la faire et de quelle guerre il s’agit. C’est un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne compl\u00e8tement nouveau et compl\u00e8tement sp\u00e9cifique au complexe militaro-industriel (CMI) am\u00e9ricain. Non seulement le CMI a pris le pouvoir mais il fait d\u00e9sormais dans l’activit\u00e9 de visionnaire de l’avenir du monde.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPour le reste, le texte de Donnelly parle de lui-m\u00eame. On appr\u00e9ciera essentiellement l’appr\u00e9ciation qu’il donne du r\u00f4le de la France, qui n’est d’ailleurs pas d\u00e9nu\u00e9e de fondement quant \u00e0 l’analyse de l’action de ce pays dans les 7 derniers mois. Les n\u00e9o-conservateurs d\u00e9testent \u00e9videmment la France, dont ils sentent qu’elle est leur ennemie naturelle puisqu’elle est partisane de la souverainet\u00e9 et de l’identit\u00e9 des peuples, mais ils reconnaissent ses capacit\u00e9s de manoeuvre et sa puissance intrins\u00e8que (soft power<\/em>). Krauthammer<\/a> et Kagan<\/a> ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9crit dans ce sens. La minutie, l’attention et l’acharnement que Donnelly met \u00e0 d\u00e9montrer que la France est compl\u00e8tement isol\u00e9e dans sa d\u00e9marche, ce qui est prendre quelques notables vessies pour autant de lanternes, est un tribut rendu indirectement \u00e0 la puissance de son action. L’action de la France n’est ni inutile, ni n\u00e9gligeable, ni encore moins d\u00e9risoire ; elle est, au contraire, la seule force capable d’enrayer (plut\u00f4t que d’arr\u00eater, certes) la machine que les n\u00e9o-conservateurs ont mise en marche.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Traffic jam on the road to ‘Pax Americana’ Donnelly’s doctrine <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tBy Bill Berkowitz, WorkingForChange<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0\u00bbAt the insistence of our allies, the war in Iraq has become as much a test of the international system as of Saddam Hussein, as much a question of a new world order as of a new, democratic Iraq. The battle between American primacy and multipolarity is nearing an end — and what is to come is a world that no one ever imagined.\u00a0\u00bb — Thomas Donnelly, Brave New World: An Enduring Pax Americana National Security Outlook, March 25, 2003, American Enterprise Institute <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0\u00bbRoyal Marines were deployed to Iraq’s border with Iran yesterday in a move that will unnerve Teheran’s regime, which fears encirclement by American-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.\u00a0\u00bb (\u00a0\u00bbMarines line up on Iranian border\u00a0\u00bb, London Telegraph, March 26, 2003) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0\u00bbThe Iraqi war has convinced the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership that some form of confrontation with the U.S. could come earlier than expected.\u00a0\u00bb (\u00a0\u00bbChina readies for future U.S. fightCNN.com\/World, March 25, 2003\u00a0\u00bb) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0\u00bbA serial invader is always looking over the horizon for the next target. The new U.S. rationale for invasion–the doctrine of \u00a0\u00bbpreventive war\u00a0\u00bb that flies in the face of international law–justifies invasion anywhere, anytime. With the war launched in Iraq, the Bush administration appears to be laying the groundwork for its next move: an attack on North Korea.\u00a0\u00bb Is North Korea Next? Foreign Policy In Focus, March 24, 2003 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPardon me for not rising from my chair, saluting Fox’s cheerleaders, and singing \u00a0\u00bbIt’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood,\u00a0\u00bb but America’s War with Iraq is creating some really nasty ripple effects — and eerily enough that’s exactly what the neoconservative cabal running Bush’s foreign policy is hoping for. I’ve never been sure what \u00a0\u00bbIt’s your world, I’m just passing through\u00a0\u00bb meant until I started to get a better feel for the U.S.’s plan for global domination. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThis is not another neocon\/Richard Perle-bashing column. I’m writing mainly to let you know about an informative essay recently written by Thomas Donnelly, one of a hardy band of American Enterprise Institute’s resident fellows. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tBut first, a few words about Richard Perle: Over the past several months, it seemed that every time you turned on the tube you encountered the chap. When I tuned into the women’s basketball championships the other day, I could swear Perle was coaching both teams and refereeing as well. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tWhen asked about Perle on Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh said two terms describe the man: \u00a0\u00bbgreed\u00a0\u00bb and \u00a0\u00bbconflict of interest.\u00a0\u00bb However, he added, \u00a0\u00bbA lot of what we know about the policy of this government, he’s been telling us. But we weren’t listening.\u00a0\u00bb The scandal-plagued Perle recently resigned as chair of the Defense Policy Board, although he retained his membership. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tYou can get a better feel for Perle by checking out my Richard Perle’s posse: Right-wing ‘think’ tanks dominate discourse and Hersh’s Lunch with the chairman: Why was Richard Perle meeting with Adnan Khashoggi?. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Donnelly’s doctrine<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\tAs Hersh told Amy Goodman, if you listen to Perle and folks like Tom Donnelly, you’re guaranteed to learn a lot. I don’t know if Donnelly and Perle share coffee, but they sure seem to be operating out of the same playbook: The U.S. role in the twenty-first century is to create a \u00a0\u00bbPax Americana,\u00a0\u00bb a world dominated so thoroughly by the military power of this country that no other country, or group of countries, will dare can challenge America’s hegemony. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIf you think that’s a mouthful, read any number of documents that American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and William Kristol’s Project for a New American Century have been putting out over the past few years. These goals are spelled out pretty clearly. In the case of his new essay, titled \u00a0\u00bbBrave New World: An Enduring Pax Americana,\u00a0\u00bb Donnelly does a very efficient job of laying out the terrain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tFor those preferring to cut to the chase, here is my interpretation of the unexpurgated Donnelly: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tF**k France and F**k the European Union (Rumsfeld’s \u00a0\u00bbold\u00a0\u00bb Europe, not Tony Blair this time around); F**k Russia; totally F**k the United Nations; after we finish F*****g Iraq, it’s time to commence F*****g Syria and Iran; plan on F*****g North Korea; and in the future, it may necessary to F**k China. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tA little longer explanation: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tAlthough Donnelly compliments the French for outmaneuvering the U.S. at the United Nations, in the long run they did the U.S. a favor. In the end, it is \u00a0\u00bba featherweight of so-called soft power set against the heavy-metal hard power of the United States.\u00a0\u00bb Whatever the outcome in the Middle East, the French will no longer be players of any considerable import. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tFor Donnelly, \u00a0\u00bbSoft power is the ability to entice and attract, and its success is measured by acquiescence or imitation. France’s vision of a multipolar world order holds little attraction for Americans and is unlikely to entice anyone outside the McGovern wing of the Democratic Party to imitate it.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDonnelly: \u00a0\u00bbA U.S. victory — measured also by the planting of the seeds of liberty and democracy in Baghdad — will define the start of a truly new world order; to steal Dean Acheson’s famous phrase, we are present at the creation. What, exactly, we are creating we do not know. It will be necessary to create international institutions that reflect the new realities, and they may even be called the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But if so, those organizations will have to be fundamentally transformed to reestablish the link between the right to make international law and the responsibility to enforce it.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDonnelly’s vision is a product of two-dozen plus years in the service of America’s corporate and political elite. He served as the director of strategic communications and initiatives for Lockheed Martin Corporation. Before that he was deputy executive director for William Kristol’s Project for the New American Century from 1999-2002; was the director of the Policy Group, Committee on National Security (now Committee on Armed Services) in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1996-1999; was a staff member of the Committee on National Security (now Committee on Armed Services) in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995; served as executive editor for The National Interest in 1994-1995; was editor of Army Times between 1987-1993 and before than was deputy editor of Defense News from 1984 to 1987. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDonnelly and company are dead serious, as many no longer alive Iraqis would certainly attest to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Brave New World An Enduring Pax Americana <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tBy Thomas Donnelly, March 25, 2003<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tAt the insistence of our allies, the war in Iraq has become as much a test of the international system as of Saddam Hussein, as much a question of a new world order as of a new, democratic Iraq. The battle between American primacy and multipolarity is nearing an end–and what is to come is a world that no one ever imagined.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe diplomatic maneuvering preceding war in Iraq marks the unambiguous end of the post-cold-war world. No one can say with absolute certainty how the \u00a0\u00bbpost-Iraq world\u00a0\u00bb will be ordered, but the fundamental contradiction of the period between 1989 and 2003–the disparity between the reality of American global primacy and the formally multipolar structure of various international institutions, most notably the United Nations and NATO–has been exposed for the sham that it has been. Ironically, the French have done us a favor by forcing the world to confront the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe French quite skillfully made the Bush administration’s decision to \u00a0\u00bbgo to the UN\u00a0\u00bb a referendum not on Saddam Hussein, the Ba’ath regime in Iraq, or even the persistent political and security problems of the larger Middle East. Rather, over the past nine months, the decisive issue has morphed into a referendum on American power and leadership. France’s stated intention has been to present itself–nationally, through the European Union, and in other international bodies–as a \u00a0\u00bbcounterweight\u00a0\u00bb to the United States \u00a0\u00bbhyperpower.\u00a0\u00bb In achieving this, President Jacques Chirac, Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, and the French diplomatic corps have acted with tremendous tactical skill, outfoxing President George W. Bush, Colin Powell, and the State Department at every turn. Given the disparity in military and economic power between Paris and Washington, France’s achievement is all the more remarkable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tHowever, the victory of Paris is almost certain to be Pyrrhric and short-lived. The French counterweight, though it has produced an earthquake at the United Nations, is, in the end, also a featherweight of so-called soft power set against the heavy-metal hard power of the United States. War in Iraq, whatever the immediate outcome, will produce a new set of geopolitical realities in the Persian Gulf and the French role in that balance will be lessened. As part of the larger war on terrorism in the Islamic world, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, in conjunction with U.S. and allied actions in Central and Southeast Asia, are having a profound effect on a huge portion of the planet where French power is negligible. The locus of conflict and the focus of international concern are shifting farther away from France, from Germany, and from western Europe. Chirac and German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are indeed gamblers whose bluff has been called; President Bush’s call to \u00a0\u00bblay the cards on the table\u00a0\u00bb reveals just how weak the French cards are. Outside the UN Security Council, those cards have almost no value whatsoever.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tSoft Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe French gambit, naturally, has a theoretical logic to it. The idea is that soft power expressed through international trade regimes, law, and organizations such as the United Nations is interchangeable with hard power-actual wealth, military strength, and the like. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe theory has been given perhaps its fullest exposition by Joseph Nye of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, a former Pentagon official in the Clinton administration. Soft power, writes Nye in The Paradox of American Power, is an \u00a0\u00bbindirect\u00a0\u00bb way to exercise power. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tA country may obtain the outcomes it wants in world politics because other countries want to follow it, admiring its values, emulating its example, aspiring to its level of prosperity and openness. In this sense, it is just as important to set the agenda in world politics and attract others as it is to force them to change through the threat or use of military or economic weapons. . . . [Soft power] co-opts people rather than coerces them.[1]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tTo Nye, this is the power to set a political agenda and the framework of debate. \u00a0\u00bbIf I can get you to want to do what I want,\u00a0\u00bb he writes, \u00a0\u00bbthen I do not have to force you to do what you do not want to do.\u00a0\u00bb Soft power is the ability to entice and attract, and its success is measured by acquiescence or imitation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe emergence of this theory of soft power has helped to solve one of the major social-science paradoxes of the past decade: the failure of a new nation or coalition to emerge as a balancer against American hegemony. Even so firm a believer in America’s preeminence as Charles Krauthammer at first foresaw only a transitory unipolar moment, and a whole school of \u00a0\u00bbneorealist\u00a0\u00bb scholars predicted the inevitable demise of U.S. geopolitical primacy. Strategy journals regularly featured articles with titles like \u00a0\u00bbThe Unipolar Illusion: Why New Great Powers Will Arise\u00a0\u00bb and \u00a0\u00bbFrom Preponderance to Offshore Balancing: America’s Future Grand Strategy.\u00a0\u00bb[2] But by the end of the 1990s, even academics had begun to doubt the reality of realist theory, and in a groundbreaking article, William Wohlforth made a comprehensive argument that \u00a0\u00bbto describe this unprecedented quantitative and qualitative concentration of power [in the hands of the United States] as an evanescent ‘moment’ is profoundly mistaken.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tThe scholarly conventional wisdom holds that unipolarity is dynamically unstable and that any slight overstep by Washington will spark a dangerous backlash. I find the opposite to be true: unipolarity is durable and peaceful, and the chief threat is U.S. failure to do enough. Possessing an undisputed preponderance of power, the United States is freer than most states to disregard the international system and its incentives. But because the system is built around U.S. power, it creates demands for American engagement. The more efficiently Washington responds to these incentives and provides order, the more long-lived and peaceful the system.[3]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tAs so often happens in the academy when theory collides with reality, it is reality that must yield. Unable to explain why no one seemed willing to employ traditional tools of international politics–in the form of military force or economic restrictions–to constrain the global leadership of the United States, increasing numbers of scholars have argued that the rest of the world, and Europe in particular, had turned to \u00a0\u00bbsoft balancing,\u00a0\u00bb employing soft power to limit the American exercise of hard power.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tFrench diplomacy over the past six months has seemed to fit this theory like a Frenchman fits his t-shirt. By ensnaring the administration in the disarmament dead-end in the United Nations, the French drove a wedge between America and the world, \u00a0\u00bbsoftly balancing\u00a0\u00bb what they could not otherwise influence. The French seized the opening when President Bush listened to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the other \u00a0\u00bbhawks\u00a0\u00bb at the Pentagon and was too dismissive of diplomacy and, particularly, of European sensibilities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tUnfortunately for the theory, however, the exercise in soft power seems to have had no appreciable balancing effect. French maneuvering has not induced the Bush administration to want to do what Jacques Chirac wished it to do leave Saddam Hussein in power or to acquiesce to Dominique de Villepin’s desires. France’s vision of a multipolar world order holds little attraction for Americans and is unlikely to entice anyone outside the McGovern wing of the Democratic Party to imitate it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIndeed, Russia and China, the other two members of the Security Council’s Axis of Veto, were quick to distance themselves from the French folly. Russian president Vladimir Putin expressed his regrets to President Bush about the U.S. decision to remove Saddam, but emphasized that there was no irreparable damage to relations. Like Boris Yeltsin before him, Putin essentially shrugged at American actions he did not care for as with NATO expansion, the ABM Treaty, and the wars in the Balkans, the Russian objections to getting rid of Saddam and the Ba’ath Party were not serious enough to provoke an enduring split with the United States. Putin understands that the return to great power will be a long road, and his first purpose is to make Russia prosper economically. Even should Russia wish to oppose America again in the future, a premature attempt to do so would abort the effort.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tBeijing, still in the throes of a leadership transition while the world is whirling around it, seems flattered to have been asked its opinion about Iraq. Like Putin, Hu Jintao is probably breathing a huge sigh of relief that President Bush did not demand a vote at the UN; it was one thing to stand near while France brandished its UN veto, quite another to have had to \u00a0\u00bblay its card upon the table\u00a0\u00bb had Bush forced the issue. Chinese strategists find their game plan for patiently accumulating great power entirely overcome by events since September 11-everywhere they turn, they see new American outposts. Beijing has become more cautious as the Bush administration has asserted its global leadership.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEven Germans, their genuine revulsion from violence and war cynically exploited by Gerhard Schroeder, are awaking with morning-after regrets. The prospect of abandonment by the Americans, or even the \u00a0\u00bbrepositioning\u00a0\u00bb of the U.S. garrison in Germany to the east, is frightening; following France has been a disaster that threatens the union of Europe that was to safely bind Germany to the rest of the continent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tFrance’s soft-power vision holds even less attraction for other European leaders. England’s Tony Blair has transformed himself from Britain’s Bill Clinton triangulating his way to electoral success into a modern-day Churchill a genuinely heroic leader seemingly ready to sacrifice his career for his moral and political beliefs. The contrast with Little Englanders like Robin Cook, whose resignation speech matched mendacity with vanity, could hardly be greater. A resolve similar to Blair’s is found in Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Aznar of Spain, Silvio Berlusconi of Italy, and especially among the leaders of \u00a0\u00bbNew Europe,\u00a0\u00bb such as V\u00e1clav Havel, former president of the Czech Republic, and Alexander Kwasneiwski of Poland. These Eastern and Central Europeans perhaps understand the price to be paid for a division between the United States and Europe, and even more for a French-led EU meant to be a counterweight to American power.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tPresent at the Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tHaving become a test of American power and purpose in the world, war in Iraq will have consequences not simply for Saddam and his regime, or the Iraqi people, or the security balance in the Persian Gulf. A U.S. victory measured also by the planting of the seeds of liberty and democracy in Baghdad will define the start of a truly new world order; to steal Dean Acheson’s famous phrase, we are present at the creation. What, exactly, we are creating we do not know. It will be necessary to create international institutions that reflect the new realities, and they may even be called the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But if so, those organizations will have to be fundamentally transformed to reestablish the link between the right to make international law and the responsibility to enforce it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tIn fact, the world that is now suffering its birth pangs in the skies over Iraq and on the ground there is even more likely than the one it grew out of to be a unipolar world, marked by an even greater degree of American primacy and leadership than before. It may further accelerate the stunning spread of democracy and political liberty that has occurred since the collapse of the Soviet empire. We appear to be moving at last from the post-cold-war era a time defined negatively by what it is not to the time of an enduring Pax Americana.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
