Permanent war is US policy. America and Israel are modern-day Spartas. Saber-rattling and hostile rhetoric continue. Anything ahead is possible.
The American Enterprise (AEI) Institute exerts enormous influence on US policy. Ronald Reagan once called it "a revolution in ideas of which I, too, have been a part."
"(Its) remarkably distinguished body of work is testimony to the triumph of the think tank. For today the most important American scholarship comes out of our think tanks - and none has been more influential than the American Enterprise Institute."
Post-9/11, AEI was one of the Bush administration's leading foreign policy architects. It was influential in promoting regime change in Iraq. It urged war. Perhaps it wants one on Iran.
On April 17, it headlined "Africa: Iran's final frontier?"
"".Tehran sees many of Africa's 54 countries as easy pickings in a zero-sum game for influence."It's "forging ties".to leverage aid and soft power in exchange for diplomatic favors and to use Africa as cover for military or nuclear objectives."
Its outreach "will increasingly challenge US aims across Africa and in its surrounding waters." AEI suggested the importance of US intervention. It stopped short of urging war. Doing so may follow.
On April 23, AEI headlined "Iran unveiled: How the Revolutionary Guards is turning theocracy into military dictatorship."
