How ironic. That is completely contrary to what Thomas Barnett says. Barnett is particularly critical of those who would solve problems with military force and completely ignore phase four planning. Phase four planning - the most necessary part to win any war. Phase four is based in civil affairs and planning for the peace; not in deserts and destruction that UG so loves. Urbane Guerrilla says he completely agrees with Barnett. He has yet to represent what Barnett wrote. Apparently UG rewrote Barnett's book to fit his political agenda.

Still waiting for UG's publication of the Pentagon Papers. He did not read that either. Instead UG rewrote it.

Apparently UG is a prolific author who only needs a publisher.
