59. Yeah, code words, good point
On the surface, talking about "our interests" shouldn't denote anything sinister -- but it is frustrating to hear that term used so frequently without any more explanation as to what it is supposed to mean. In a more open and transparent culture politicians wouldn't be able to get away with talking about stuff like that without explaining themselves.

PNAC's main document, "Rebuilding America's Defenses", uses that term a great deal. You're right, it's a eumphamism for imperialism.
