Wilson is a key figure in the history of Leftism in foreign policy.Read some Churchill. He had a few things to say on that.

It would be NICE for European Christians to take the lead on a great many things. They are no longer in power. That didn't happen by accident. At least, back when we used to study history, that is...

The neocon/paleocon debate is valid as a theoretical exercise. But given the departure of Republican and American politics from Christian culture, it is relatively meaningless to the future of civilization.

The Porky's-ization of modern American culture is rather relevant, as John Kerry keeps reminding us.

Since neoconservatism is the principle behind our foreign policy, I'd say it was rather meaningful to any current debate on our civilization.
Neoconservatism and Wilson have almost nothing in common except the belief that there should be a moral component to foreign policy decisions.
That ongoing moral decline of civilization (Porky's-ization) bromide has been around since Augustine of Hippo. Given our thirty year love affair with the disposal of unwanted babies, I'm hesitant to argue strenuously against the idea. Still, there are alot of people fighting tooth-and-nail, and I'd say your assertion that Republican and American politics has jettisoned Christianity (and Judaism too) is rather premature.
John Kerry? We've always had John Kerrys.

There's more Christianity in China today then in Europe.
