There are LOTS of "neoconservatives" who aren't Jews, yet it is always Perle and Wolfowitz who are mentioned by the critics.

But Perle and Wolfowitz are in positions of power and are the ones crafting and implementing (neoconservative) policy. Of course they're getting mentioned by name. Until this article I honestly had no clue Kristol was Jewish (is he actually?). But he's definitely in the fore of our political culture, and I'd like to think I can disagree with his neoconservative policy views concerning American hegemony (Pax Americana, whatever you want to call it) without being called a racist. That's the kind of distraction the Left engages in, when you critize someone like Jesse Jackson or Julian Bond for the policies they advocate and get called a racist. It lets the accuser dodge responding to the policy arguments and instead divert focus to ad-hominem attacks on the opponent.

Perle is not in the administration in any position.

Look, you are free to criticize neocons. But when people go out of their way to mention certain neocons by name, and they are all Jews, you can be pretty sure what underlies some of the criticism.

There is nothing in the least racist about this comment. However, it doesn't seem all that pro-American either. The US is the most powerful country in the world, and as most powerful nations go historically, we are the least colonialist. The US wants nothing better than to turn over Iraq to the Iraqi people, so long as they don't bring back the terrorist training camps complete with 707 (and I haven't heard there's any controversy over that one).

What do you expect from neocons since they came from the left? PS: Richard Perle is still a Democrat while being a neocon. Neocon meaning Jew is a new invention used by neocons to shut up paleocons.

The best known neo conservatives are Jewish except for Rumsfield and Dick Cheney. The neo conservative theoreticians are mostly Jewish. But millions of non-Jewish Americans agree with the neo conservative world view. Maybe they are dupes of crafty Jews, too dumb to think and evaluate? This is what the Arab press is always yapping about. Anthony Zinni merely repeats this.
