After Iraq
(New Yorker) - Nicholas Lemann Lately, Washington hawk-watchers have been passing around a document called "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," which was written in 1996, by an eight-member committee, as advice for Benjamin Netanyahu, the newly elected Israeli prime minister. The head of the committee was Richard Perle, who is probably Washington's leading vocal advocate of regime change in Iraq; another committee member was Douglas Feith. The title refers to a foreign policy for Israel that would deemphasize the peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians and move "to a traditional concept of strategy based on balance of power."
