This analyzing "neo-conservatives" "straussian" thing is getting out of control over there! I wonder if they realize it started from Pat Buchanan

So, when Irving Kristol wrote his book "Reflections of a Neoconservative" he was acting under the spell of PJB?

My meaning is the current usage of "neo-cons" on persons who aren't even neo-cons. It relates to the Iraq war and American "Empire" rather than the economic/social thought of persons in the 70's and early 80's who went from left to right.

Check out PJB's early 2003 articles on Iraq and the "lobby".

BTW, I like some of his other stuff.
