“An influential foreign-policy neo-conservative with long-standing ties to top hawks in the administration of President George W Bush has laid out what he calls ”a checklist of the work the world will demand of this president and his subordinates in a second term.”
The list, which begins with the destruction of Fallujah in Iraq and ends with the development of ”appropriate strategies” for dealing with threats posed by China, Russia and ”the emergence of a number of aggressively anti-American regimes in Latin America,” also calls for ”regime change” in Iran and North Korea.”
Yes, America, you have chosen a president and party that wants to take on China and invade Iran and North Korea. Thank you for ensuring the world some larger wars. (How can Neo-cons even consider taking on China, a nation that could easily be the world’s only super power in twenty years?)

aggressively anti-American regimes in Latin America
After everything he said to secure the Latino vote. What a lovely hypocrite he is.
I think he means Cuba by that, even though Cuba is by no stretch agressive. Bush has wanted to destroy Cuba for a long while, and he’s already harmed the country with economic sanctions.
There are anti-American groups in Puerto Rico, also. Probably the worst is the Macheteros. They’re not as aggressive as they used to be, but some have gone so far as to renege their American citizenship (becoming citizens of nowhere, because there is no Puertorican citizenship). Some years back there was a group that attempted to plant a bomb in the White House (though I’ve only heard rumors about that; no one seems to know what really happened).
Cuba is generally called nuestra isla hermana by Puerto Rico, “our sister island”. The Puertorican and Cuban flags are almost identical because of the close relationship they had in the past. I don’t believe in any way that if Bush chose to attack Cuba he would leave us out of the equation.
and my conservative family and friends didn’t believe me when i told them that bush would try to invade china and iran…and north korea!? jesus, these bastards don’t have a clue what they are doing do they?
