    T2,
    I really don't care whether you are interested in the neo-cons or not, or whether you acknowledge them having put their stamp on US foreign and security policy or not. They did. It is not my problem if you don't mind to inform yourself. Believe what you want. I can just sit here and (not) enjoy the show. It's your country.

    I see what they did, read what they wrote, read a lot of that actually, and I find their ideological journey fascinating, and there is a reason why I persistently disagree with Chandos on what's a neo-con and what isn't. That is because I have a very differentiated and detailed idea what a neo-con is (no offense, Chandos).
    If you accuse me of seeing neo-cons everywhere you are mistaken and put words in my mouth (or rather, posts). With the exception of Elliot Abrams, they today mostly reside in Cheney's office. They have been mostly purged from their other administration posts. They're still in the game, however.

    Just out of curiosity, can you tell me where the idea of the recent escalation in Iraq was first publicly floated, and by whom?

    I don't see neo-cons masterminding things, but they try hard to persuade. Neo-cons need to persuade the mighty as much as the average folks, after all, that's what they always did and earn their living with. They are whips, and opinion makers and shapers - but ultimately servants.
    But inded, our little joust led us :yot:
