Dr. K. Kissinger? But he's not a neocon. Though Reagan was no fan of Kissinger either, his fanatical anti-communist gang made creative use of the fruits of Kissinger's detente efforts which they had so vociferously maligned as they clawed their way to power – the crowning item being the Helsinki accords, with their human rights 'basket'. Combined with now President Reagan's massive new arms race and Gorbachev's ill-defined perestroika, this precipitated the collapse of the Soviet Union, much to Kissinger's surprise. The first great neocon 'con' was thus the 'winning' of the Cold War, the triumph of 'freedom,' 'democracy', etc, over tyranny, dictatorship, etc. And, Irony of ironies, they have their hated Nixon and Kissinger with their realpolitik and detente (among other causes of course) to thank. dissidentvoice.org
