Win, What are you talking about in this post. Neocon told it like it is, and he didnt mince words. Why dont you read the post you rant about before ranting. And put on your glasses too so you can see. Mike

I am afraid you are making little sense. I have no opinion about the role of Wolfowitz, if that is what you are talking about. Otherwise, I did not deny that Neocons have some influence, nor that most of them are Jewish. In fact, I made a point of their Jewishness, and its bearing on their framework. Rumsfeld and Cheney are neither Neocon nor Jewish, but they certainly do not need Neocons to tell them to deal with threats before they get too large. I would only say that the accusation that Neocons are only acting out of solicitude for Israel borders on being anti- semitic, employing the dual- loyalty trope without compelling evidence. My point was much simpler: Jews would have wished for aid long before it came, and are sensitive to those who suffer persecution. In some instances, that takes the form of the hard headed determination to use the might of the United States to promote more moderate regimes. Neocons can be accused of being "Neo- Wilsonians", but not much else.......
