Know the enemy – Neo-cons defined….

[whistle]

…boy this site is kinda scary

James Zogby, the President of the Arab American Institute, defines Neoconservatism thus:-

"Neo-conservatism is the secular political philosophy that defined the reaction of a group of former liberals to what they felt was the Democratic party's policy of appeasement toward the Soviet Union--most especially the USSR's treatment of its Jewish population and its relations with the Arab world. They were a small but influential group of writers, commentators and government officials."

This definition is of importance in one respect: it highlights that fact that there are few Neoconservatives who could be defined as original thinkers, they are mainly journalists, media pundits from New York intellectual circles and people from what is sometimes referred to as "official Washington", the people who inhabit Georgetown and the beltway and seek administration places or advisory functions with contractors to government.
