Unfortunately, the European Christians are too busy trying to prop up their duct tape and chickenwire version of state socialism to worry much about the Middle East, unless it's a matter of a lucrative contract for an aeronautical or petrochemical firm.
The 'excesses' of the neoconservatives jolted us out of 1970s post-Vietnam posture of detente and accomodation. There's something to be said for that.
That Porky's-style photo-op has nothing to do with neoconservatives or American culture. It has everything to do with the propensity for bored rear-echelon troops, especially security-types, to behave badly. That this is the worst act documented, given two years of constant conflict, says more about the basic decency of the US soldier then it does about homoeroticism in Western civilization. Or how it applies to Islam.
All those (I mean the Lew Rockwell types) who argue against neoconservatism have failed to propose their own policy for defeating Islamic fundamentalism. They know what they are against, but don't seem to know what their for, except perhaps a return to Jefferson's mythical republic of the yeoman farmer.
Neoconservatism as it exists today means the will to employ US power to defeat those who wish to destroy us, and to dissuade those who wish to rival us from attempting to do so. That's not imperialism, and it's not jacobinism either.
It is in our national interest to defeat evil where we can. To paraphrase an old saw, American hegenomy is the worst kind, except for all the others.

It would be nice if things worked out like in a Frank Capra movie. But for the people who dedicated themselves to emasculating European aristocratic culture and Catholicism to now whine about why Europe, now secularized, socialist, and population controlled (like good Kinseyite illuminoids), will not join in an American anti-Islam crusade is so ridiculously absurd as to defy further comment.
