The distinctions Gates makes between "threats"

is arbitrary and what he calls a "failed state"

could be a legitimate, struggling democracy that

he wants to control.

This is a man who will never accept an Islamic

government, whether legimately elected or not.

This strategy on how to "dominate" or "sustain

the institution" smells like the Cold War and

will do nothing to improve our leadership in the

world. It will do the opposite.

Total myopic thinking.Certainly not an example

for the civilized world.Institutionalizing the

war machine is dangerous.It must remain subject

in all ways, culturally, financially,

politically, to civilian rule, the people.

This is a man in warworld.
