re: daver the neo-con groupie Do you know who the "neo-cons" who are leading Bush by the nose really are??

Social conservative hope for the best from Bush. But I suggest that they proceed with caution. Bush has surrounded himself with neo-conservative (neo-cons) advisors, and therefore has never met a big goverment that he didn't like.

The "neo-cons" have been referred to as "political cross-dressers". Neo-Conservatism was formed by a mostly Jewish group of establishment anti-communist liberal intellectuals. Many of them were former Marxists, but were repelled by the violence and anti-establishment attitudes of the radical Left. They were also alarmed by the New Left’s rabid anti-Israel pro-Arab rhetoric.

In effect, they form the "War Party" ideology of post-cold war American politics. The USSR may be dead, but the neo-conservatives diverted some of those huge sums of military dollars towards their main concern, Israel, by sounding the alarm that "rouge nations" such as Iraq were the main threat to world peace and setting up Pax-America.
