In case you were wondering about the people behind the war with Iraq, here's an article about the neocons and their ideologies.

I have to say that I agree with at least some of their ideas. I think they might be being a tad idealistic though.

To me, the neocons sound remarkably like paranoid war-mongering imperialists, I disagree with them about as much as I disagree with the fundys.

What do you agree with them about?

nice

I'm not quite as worried about the non-democratic portions of the world and believe that simply limiting interactions with such countries (ie ceasing the 3rd world political foolishness that the US loves to become involved in) would remove most or all of the threats. OTOH, I could be wrong. However, even admitting that, I do not believe democracy can be introduced by conquest and so the most likely result is even more repressive and hate-filled regimes (which is made especially likely given the sorts of 3rd world regimes that the US typically supports). Also, I consider their rhetoric to (in most cases) to be nothing more than lies masking a desire to "create democracy" by conquering much of the world.
