In the 1990s we witnessed the emergence of a

small number of rogue states that, while different

in important ways, share a number of attributes.

These states:

• brutalize their own people and squander their national resources for the personal gain of the rulers;

• display no regard for international law, threaten their neighbors, and callously violate international treaties to which they are party;

• are determined to acquire weapons of mass destruction, along with other advanced military technology, to be used as threats or offensively to achieve the aggressive designs of these regimes;

• sponsor terrorism around the globe; and

• reject basic human values and hate the United States and everything for which it stands.

So we're a \"rogue state\" now? Ooooh, sounds exotic! I feel like Han Solo.<\/p>\n","contact":"nickcooper@indymedia.org","link":"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/nsc\/nss.pdf","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"as seen in the new "National Security Strategy of the United States"","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/10\/19564.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":19565,"heading":"revolution","article":"The united state has always followed closely that entire list you mentioned except maybe the last part which would entail self hate.","author":"naw","parent_id":19564,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-10-04 20:28:08","modified":"2002-10-04 20:28:08","fileurl":""}]}
