The superhawk behind the surge
"The obscure Bush administration official charged with coordinating the president's new Iraq strategy has been a consistent advocate of armed US intervention everywhere from Cuba to North Korea. US President George W Bush is taking his advice from the most hawkish of his hawkish advisers" article by Jim Lobe
One thing that will always stagger my mind is how wide and ramified these neo-cons are... from Aim to Freedom House, spending a few moments by Commentary magazine and the weekly standard before hunting the beaches of the Jerusalem post and some high rank influences through Hollinger, it's dead creepy

Especially when you read such revolutionary utopianism as Fukuyama's End of History.
What especially creeps me with neocons is that they seem to worship the democratic state as an end in itself.
I mean marxist wanted a state for the communist revolution, social-democrats want it for "social justice", conservatives want it for preserving "morality" and protecting their property.
But neocon love democratic state because it allows them to install more democratic state. All in the goal of having The Democracy.
The Great Terror is slowly coming. And we may be purged...
What do you think?
And do you have the impression that the democrats are learning from their "arch-enemies"?

Oh they will, I promise, the question I am asking myself is more: will they achieve their level of organization? As for the end of history by fukuyama, I am not sure if we can call that utopianism as in the end, the result is kinda catastrophic... Needless to say that for me, this book, though it contains a lot of very interesting points, is a little too polemic to be possible... how possibly the history resume itself in the end into a war o f cultures?
