I heard an interview with a British author on NPR today (didn't catch his name or the title of his book). He subject was the American Right - who was in it, what made it tick? Listening to him, he seems to have done a good job of sorting out the various camps and understanding their thinking. He made a good point about the neo-cons, familiar to us on this thread but surely a novelty to most NPR listeners: first, they're "neo" because they used to be Democrats, second, they've been going on about the dangers of terrorism for a long time, third, on 9/11, their ideas suddenly began resonating and making sense across most of the camps of the Right (certain paleo-conservative holdouts excepted). People without this understanding keep setting up a "Manchurian candidate" situation, but it's not the case at all.
