Interesting. Sounds much like conservatism to me, although not the moderate type (at least in regard to national security).

Neocons tend not to be moderate regarding national security, but I am unaware of any of the notable ones suggesting some final solution of nukes and instigating a religious war against Islam is job one either. Keeping one's moral compass is what is job one, I would like to think, and parsing very carefully the consequences of a policy, in moral terms, of a more universal rather than tribal nature. A stong and safe American, with a robust internationalist leaning, at the moment is also job one in that regard, since at the moment, America is the lone superpower. Thus there is an element, within prudent limits, of a pax Americana about it.
