The Pentagon's New Map

Thomas P.M. Barnett worked at the Naval War College until recently. His book is topping all the charts and is a "must-read" inside the Pentagon.

Separating the world into the "Core" and the "Gap" this is a logical follow up to philosophy of the PNAC.

"The U.S. has an unparalleled capacity to wage war. Nobody else has that capacity. There are situations inside this Gap that are crying out for resolution. Kim Jung Il let a famine occur in North Korea that killed maybe 2 million of his people. Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of his people. What's going on in Zimbabwe is a crime against humanity in many ways. What's going on in Sudan is horrible. Would the world like to see these situations dealt with?"
