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.

That freedom of expression does not include the freedom to remove other people's right to expression.
What I disagree with is the idea that the removal by force of dictators is necessarily the right way to do so and won't cause more problems in the long run. I certainly think it's an option in certain cases (where the society is so controlled and insular that it's not possible to leverage democracy and freedom of information in other ways), but I don't think that it's the right option if there are other alternatives (for instance in Iran, which is slowly opening itself up to freedom, I think the the slower route is a lot safer).
nice
