the "Pre-emptive Strike" doctrine, post 9/11, but two months PRIOR to, sitting as Chair of the 9/11 Commission, without TELLING ANYONE that it was he himself who wrote it - evidence of a consciousness of complicitity or of wrongdoing in terms of his conflicts of interest.
Then he places himself at the apex of the information channels and flow and essentially authors, himself, the "narrative" or the "historical myth" in history regarding what took place on September 11th, now the only "official" historical point of reference regarding that tragic day.. (aside from the NIST Report as to cause of the twin towers', and building 7's destruction..

This guy isn't a historian at all, but an evil 'genius' historial WAR CRIMINAL, of the farthest reaching proportions, and here he's caught red handed, prior to, and after 9/11, as well as having a direct connection to the Iraq War provocation policy document, suggesting that the 9/11 event authorized the use of pre-emptive warfare, in contravention to the traditional view, and international laws regarding the use of warfare. That's twisted, this guy's twisted, and yet he teaches, in Virginia, without any repercussions or consequences for himself and his professional status, how f'd is that?

I cannot get over this Zelikow issue, and why it's not being addressed, out loud. I'm not sure even Jesse Ventura is aware of the extent of this one guy's involvement, and duplicity in actaully crafting the entire frame of reference, with the help of his friends like Wolfowitz, Pearl, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, Bush, etc. and Robert Gates.

Crazy, that he's considered a highly respected "historian".

What's the world coming to?

It's absurd.

Cheney sits in Wyoming, and
Zelikow is back in the US teaching (I think he'd left the country for a few years, waiting for the dust to settle), clothed in the garb of a respected Academician..

Keep up the good work everyone, keep up the pressure. We're always just one generation away from changing the WHOLE GAME, and it can happen at any time.

I think guys like Zelikow need to know that the historical truth will catch up to them one day and have its reckoning, he needs to UNDERSTAND that, as a "learned professor of history'".

"Zoellick was perhaps the first Bush associate to introduce the concept of “evil” into the rhetoric of the then-administration-in-waiting. In Foreign Affairs, Zoellick wrote: “A modern Republican foreign policy recognizes that there is still evil in the world—people who hate America and the ideas for which it stands. Today, we face enemies who are hard at work to develop nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, along with the missiles to deliver them. The United States must remain vigilant and have the strength to defeat its enemies. People driven by enmity or by a need to dominate will not respond to reason or goodwill. They will manipulate civilized rules for uncivilized ends.”
In a speech to the right-wing Heritage Foundation in Washington, Zoellick made the case that there is no alternative to globalization and that U.S. companies and consumers were already benefiting in countless ways from this new wave of corporate-led economic integration. To drive his point home, Zoellick noted: “Even the funeral business has gone global, with a Houston-based company now selling funeral plots in 20 countries.” (8)
Part of that policy coherence was expressed by Zoellick in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks when he conflated his free trade initiatives with the war on terrorism. “Now we have a clear enemy who is not only trying to do us great damage, but is also trying to terrorize us, to paralyze us by terrorizing us,” said Zoellick. “The terrorists deliberately chose the World Trade towers as their target. While their blow toppled the towers, it cannot and will not shake the foundation of world trade and freedom. Our response has to counter fear and panic, and counter it with free trade.”

no doubt about it thanks
