Id say its about us-

The doctrine, which has generated intense debate in the U.S. military establishment and government,

Seems that they mean places like Africa, maybe places like palestine, etc. Although I can see them occupying a US city because of the "lawlessness" breeding in it's inner city areas, or even a small town because of the people who are "clinging to guns and religion" Could go either way with the things they've pulled lately.

Sounds like "United Federation of Planets" mumbo-jumbo. :rolleyes:

Watch the "state dinner" scene aboard the Enterprise in Star Trek VI - the Undiscovered Country sometime, as two cultures raised in warfare try to "play nice" with one another. That whole film is an excellent example, of what happens, when you try to put the military in charge of diplomacy - neither military VICTORY nor diplomacy occur! :eek:

It seems like its talking exactly about the stuff going on in Iraq right now.
