Even my most educated friends have asked me, "What is a neocon, anyway?" I found this on Craigslist, uncredited, this morning. Thought it was a good summation:
a neocon - strictly speaking - is someone who believes in pre-emptive military strikes against percieved agressors
anyone can be a neocon but the ability to look at past mistakes and not learn from them is a desirable trait
it also helps to believe that human rights are only afforded to middle aged, white, heterosexual males
no moral compass is needed to be a neocon
they are overwhelmingly conservative Republicans and are now feeling the backlash of thirty years of empire building while they and theirs abandoned the Republic
they are never wrong in their methods and belief systems and just need 'more time' to carry out their agenda to an effective end
I think the author meant to say, "they never admit to be wrong". Not "they are never wrong." Otherwise, excellent and brief summary. Anything you'd like to add to this?
