But there's more to neoconservatism than the war. The word refers to a movement that sprang from New York's upper West Side in the late '60s, led principally by ex-liberals who felt welfare policies had veered too far left.
Irving Kristol, a movement founder, once defined neoconservative as a "liberal mugged by reality."
On the foreign policy side, along with projecting a strong military posture abroad, neoconservatives are skeptical of international organizations, such as the United Nations, and ardently pro-Israel.
All of which describes Giuliani. As mayor, he reveled in challenging liberal dogma, particularly on taxes, crime and welfare, and rarely missed a chance to slap the UN.
And while virtually all the Republican candidates for President have staked out positions in favor of continuing the Iraq war, none have made security and the broader war on terror as dominant a theme as Giuliani.
In other words, the War On Islamofascism. Abortion is important to be sure - but the greatest abortion of all to fear is the abortion the Left would perform on our American civilization. They must kept away from the levers of power.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
