Bush adviser: Military draft worth considering

I coined a term to be used as a standard by which we ought to measure the effects of influential folks like this new guy, Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute:

Machiavello-NeoCon-Straussian

Other "influential"s -- who should be held to this same standard, just to make sure and record the effects that they cause (as to where that would place them on a scale of "Machiavellianism") -- are ...

-Dick Cheney
-Zalmay M. Khalilzad
-Lewis Libby
-Richard Perle
-Karl Rove
-Donald Rumsfeld
-Paul Wolfowitz
-Richard Perle

And, if you don't think that we should take any interest in where their effects would place them on a scale of "Machiavellianism" -- I have only one question for you:

Why shouldn't we take any interest in THIS measurement of their effects?
