Robert Kagan invokes Pearl Harbor imagery on the first page of his opening essay in the 2000 volume PRESENT DANGERS: CRISIS AND OPPORTUNITY IN AMERICA'S FOREIGN AND DEFENCE POLICY. That book features a contributed essay by Wolfowitz, has a spooky blood-red title design on the dark cover, and appears slanted to a readership familiar with the prior activities of the Committee on the Present Danger. A degree further and Kagan could have simply titled the book GET READY, BOYS, with a picture of a big arrow pointing towards the WTC complex, but caution obviously won out.
Brzezinsky also invokes the Pearl Harbor trope in the Grand Chessboard.
By the way, the Kopp Verlag made good money on that book, it is in its third printing and selling as Number 7 in International Politics on Amazon. And the reviews give me any reason to believe that the readers fully understand the message.
Also I forgot to mention that the demand to stop advertising for the book allegedly came from the "far left" with the possibility to threaten sabotage acts on the railway system. Seems to be some Gladio operatives in Germany are still alive and kicking. And so I know that the justice system in Germany is also defunct, because these "left extremists" never could be found.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
