Neocon Helpfully Defined

Donald Kagan has defined neoconservative...

Imprudence? Perzactly! That is the core of hamiltonianism, since you push until it fails and then charge it off to the subjects, see 'mortgage mess." ... as to moralism and idealism, the question is, whose? As to exceptionalism, what is exceptional about militarism, and global ambition—as well as imprudent excesses in the exercise of all of these? Every political disaster, such as Hitler, subscribed to this.

This guy has won a Jefferson Award. Go figure.
