I have not read the Ledeen quote before. He's one scary sob.
http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0403/S00061.htmTheir names are familiar -- Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, Michael Ledeen...They tower contemptuously above God, their plan for a new world order far grander than His, and their fingerprints are all over the tens of thousands of innocents who have been killed, injured or horribly maimed.
They are everywhere -- from the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) and other right-wing think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) -- to the Pentagon, State Department and White House. And, in their own words, they have only just begun.
Ledeen is possibly the most dangerous and influential neocon of all the Iran-Contra madmen who are back in power. In his book, Machiavelli on Modern Leadership, Ledeen says, "Creative destruction is our middle name. We do it automatically...It is time once again to export the democratic revolution."
"God," Ledeen explains, "understands that all men are evil, and the only way to achieve peace is through total war." Ledeen believes "the sparing of civilian lives cannot be the total war's first priority...The purpose of total war is to permanently force your will onto another people."-----------------
"Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." -- Euripides
