The grand neocon strategy is to provide the people of the middle east with a new possible future, a realistic and ground expectation that life will get better for them and thier families. They understand that this is tightly linked to US national security and economic prosperty more fully than any other group of thinkers on this issue. That's the rosiest picture ever drawn of the neocons. Better to be a bit suspicious of anyone in position to go to war. Their published stuff says they want a world safe for the US to stay number one. Second, it's safe to assume they want a pacified ME and tend to read it through the eyes of the present Israeli government. Third, what they don't want is democracy, meaning voting islamist governments into power in the ME. That would be democratic right now. But, since that would be counter to US interests, they don't want it. But the rhetoric of democracy serves their purposes. It's called creating illusions; using "democracy" as a religious change of subject.
