Chris,

The current circumstances are not at all surprising given that, even though there's been a technical revolution throughout the developed world, the social and psychological state of mankind remains the same.
The seduction of technology over the past 200 or 300 yrs. has led many people to believe that the dynamics of society and humanism have also advanced.
Technology advances parabolically. Each step leads to bifurcations that, in kind, lead to further bifurcations.
Within the structure of mental capacity however, there is no such geometric progression. Dependence on technology and the false ideology espoused by the neocons which is based on technical superiority only widens the gap between the reality of human relations vis-a-vis the necessity to engender common solutions.
At the present time reality is being completely ignored because a very, very small coterie of rabid ideologues have been ("fortuitously" as far as they're concerned) thrust into the global dynamic of human relations.
The actual outcome is fraught with the gap between advances in technology and the concomitant gap with the relatively static condition in societal advance.
There are long-term consequences in jumping on the neocon bandwagon that do not at all take this dynamic into account.
The narrow view of the neocons is detrimental because it is prohibitively narrow.
