Man, if this doesn't creep you out, what does? This is not a joke, it's really the card the Cheneys sent out to all their correspondents and friends this year: The Vice President's Christmas Card.
Well, you can start with The Project For a New American Century (http://www.newamericancentury.org/), which is Dick Cheney's personal little 'ol think tank, along with Rumsfield and Pearle-- they're the three main co-founders. But what you really want to read is Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century (http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf). (Warning: PDF, and long).
Remember when Bush said all those things about America not wanting to be interventionist, and all that before 9/11? Well, when 9/11 came along, Cheney, Rummy, and Pearle all sat Bush down, told him about this plan, and viola-- an American empire was born.
