Gary, very interesting article. Thanks I, too, have identified the strange relationship between the neocons (chicken-hawks) and the Old Guard and wondered how it came about. Undeniably, this fusion of seemingly diverse interests has now created an administrative and political juggernaut which appears to be unstoppable, both in the US, and possibly even in the world. Anyone who believes that the America of today is the same benign Uncle Sam of yesterday is seriously mistaken. >>>How much the neocons will shape the future, whether the policies promoting US expansion represent a trend or a blip on the graph is still uncertain. It will depend on the appetite of the American people for empire, or at least the post-modern 21st century version of it. To those who say that Americans have no stomach for modern imperialism, Mr Kagan argues that since its creation as a group of eastern seaboard communities, the US has been an expansive power.<<<
