While the Bush Administration struggles to plant the seeds of democracy in the scorched earth of Iraq, the neoconservative thinkers who provided the intellectual firepower for military action against Saddam Hussein are already looking beyond Baghdad. Convinced that as the sole superpower, America has both the means and the manifest destiny to promote democratic reform around the globe, neocons inside and outside the Bush Administration are eager to press forward with their muscular foreign policy. Toppling Saddam, they argue, is just a prelude to large-scale regime change in the Persian Gulf and beyond.

As sensible and effective as this measure has proven to be, the concept seems to elude liberals, especially press liberals, who see only a "rift" or "struggle" between clear-headed, rational appeasers at the State Department and these frightening new interlopers, the evil Neocons — spawn of the Pentagon.

Rather surprising, since back when most of the graybeards in the press were cutting their journalistic teeth, Nixon and Kissinger were playing virtually the same game.

There's only one place for the neocons to go. Down. Down into the deep dark bowels of Hades where they belong. Bill Kristol and his frighteningly ugly and deformed teeth will no doubt neuter poor Cerberus.

And our stuttering would-be-pseudo-emperor-Claudius will join him there. As Livia would say "Bye-bye Du-Du-Dubya."

How do I get parentheses behind my name? Do I have to subscribe to the Meekly Substandard?

As always, insightful post and right on the mark !

BRAVO !

It is also long past due, that " neo-com " be put aside and no longer used to mean any damned thing, perjoratively , on FR.

Since you think that President Bush the younger, is rather like the Emporer Claudius, then you should at least attempt to know something about him, other than what you get from a British T.V. series. Have you even ever bothered to read Robert Graves two books, which " I CLAUDIUS " was based on ? How about historical works, from contenporanious authors through the present, about the real Claudius ? I doubt that you have done any of that.

In fact, the Emporer Claudius was quite the man! Not a bumbler and far from being an idiot. President Bush isn't too shabby himself. Now, dear, go play in traffic. ;^)
