The PNAC's principles sound resonable if you don't know anything else about the organization. But the same can be said of these principles.

First: To protect the weak, the innocent, and the defenseless, from the indignities, wrongs, and outrages of the lawless, the violent, and the brutal; to relieve the injured and oppressed; to succor the suffering and unfortunate, and especially the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers.

Second: To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and all laws passed in conformity thereto, and to protect the States and the people thereof from all invasion from any source whatever.

Third: To aid and assist in the execution of all constitutional laws, and to protect the people from unlawful seizure, and from trial except by their peers in conformity to the laws of the land.

If the bit about Confederate soldiers didn't tip you off, those principles come from a KKK charter. Once you understand that, the above bland principles take on a much more ominous meaning.

The same is true of the PNAC principles, they sound fairly acceptable by themselves. But once you look at the actions the members justify based on those principles, you realize they working towards US global domination via military power.
