Classic 'big dic' thinking cannot think strategically let alone peace - or even the purpose of war.

Barnett's fundamental concepts are about building a world without all that combat. Completely contradictory to the Urbane Guerrilla's political agenda. UG perfers deserts to dictatorships. War solves everything. Ironically, UG's solution is to become a dictatorship as Cheney also advocates.

Barnett is about gloabalization without making deserts. If UG read for facts rather than for a political agenda, then he might understand Barnett.

UG and Cheney sound so much alike. We should be preparing for WWIII. Not because we have enemies. Because people like Urbane Guerrilla and Cheney will do what is necessary to create those enemies. How many nations will be added to the axis of evil? Concepts that morphed into 'Project for a New American Century' would add Germany, Russia, and India to that list.

Urbane Guerrilla is a perfect example of ‘big dic’ thinking that would also rewrite Thomas Barnett’s book. It is called propaganda. Those who most love dictatorships also use propaganda liberally. Another ironic twist. UG uses something 'liberally'?
