Interesting that you omitted the majority of my quote in order to support your position. (And that you never defined 'neo-con').

btw, it's fine that you agree with the left about Iraq, Austin. I'm actually glad that you have all come bursting out of the closet since you won the election in November.

It just makes it clear to those of us who are actually conservative who the Bush haters on the 'right' have chosen to climb into bed with.

You must be a newbie. I have opposed this occupation from the beginning on FR just like I opposed the Kosovo quagmire back in the late 1990s. I didnt' vote Democratic so my party didn't win anything

You didn't reply to my specific points (for example, do you think of the fact that Iraqis elected Shi'te fundamentalists?) but I will reply to yours. Neo-cons can be defined a group of folks who are mostly former Democrats, but broke from the Democratic party because they regarded it as "too isolationist." Neo-cons tend to favor using American foreign policy as a means to spread democracy (whether in Kosovo or Iraq) but also reject the traditional GOP opposition to welfare state.
