Good post. Remember Krauthammer's words "Conservatives think Liberals are stupid. Liberals think Conservatives are evil." Also liberals believe that War is Bad, which it is, but they believe this axiomatically, War is Always the Worst Possible Option.

So it's nearly impossible for liberals (here I refer to left-liberals, those whom even Johm M would call "liberal" and not "moderate"), to believe or admit, even to themselves, that the neocons are reacting to a perceived level of threat, though in a manner that they must regard as deeply mistaken. They need to think that neocons either just want war for a) general macho reasons, b) more profit for the military-industrial complex, or c) to make money on oil, either by serving the House of Saud or by conquering them, take your pick.
