You wouldn't be getting all exhilarated again there, would you, C2? Not that anybody would confuse your particular "exhilaration" with emotion or anything. Purely facts and logic.

So who in the mideast so far has thrown in their lot with the USA in the WOT?

1. the new afganistan
2. Libya--a stretch i know
3. Pakistan
4. The Stans
5. Egypt--see the debka report but even if overoptimistic egypt-israel reconciliation is a big deal
6. Palestine and Abu Mazen until death do them part
7. Russiastan
8. China--in terror threatened regions and with NK
9. Kurds and Shiaa in iraq
10. Turkey even if not in iraq war
11. Kuwait and all those little emirates
12. Israel--despite the views of sun, watkins and leon, israel is in the mideast boyz.

Bad guys
1. Zarquawi + baathists in the triangle
2. bin laden wherever the hell he is
3. Iran but not the people who are pro-american
4. Syria/Assad/Hizbollah/ for how much longer?

Am sure i have missed some, most notable being SaudiArabia. Dont know where to put them.

I apologize for leaving abruptly, I was called away unexpectedly.

"Neoconservative" never had a precise programmatic content. It originated as a pejorative term for leftist intellectuals who resisted the McGovernization of the Democratic Party, and who began to question liberalism generally for having led to that debacle.
