You clearly display your intelligence by announcing to a shocked world that the "right" brought us Vietnam. I guess that Kennedy and Johnson were radical neo-cons.

I have to assume from your cheap trick of translating "the right" into "radical neo-cons" means that you actually don't realize how neoconservatism originated as a preference for maintaining the aggressive posture of Democratic foreign policies from about 1948-70, which in turn reflected a bipartisan consensus that Vietnam shattered. The foreign policies of Kennedy and Johnson are those to which neoconservatives generally want to return, so these Presidents are the paradigmatic "radical neocons." "Neoconservatism--the term was Michael Harrington's--originated in the 1970s as a movement of anti-Soviet liberals and social democrats in the tradition of Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey and Henry ("Scoop") Jackson . . . ." Michael Lind.

If you ever decide to stop sneering at people who don't share your ignorance, you might want to take up reading, or befriend someone who can.

P.S. Kosovo isn't a "state," but a UN protectorate within the state of Serbia and Montenegro.
