While Pitchfork Pat has always loved TROP (and hated Jews/Israel/Neocons), there is no evidence that either Arabs or Muslims were particularly fond of the U.S. prior to the Iraq War. Quite a few jihadist terrorist attacks against Americans prior to the Iraq invasion.
If neocon is a codeword for Jews, perhaps paleocon is a codeword for demented.
