Neocons

[Zeno]

Below is a link to a very interesting article (somewhat long) that purports to show the antecedents of the present foreign policy doctrine now employed by the Bush Administration. This article is bias (as most articles are), but the outline of historical thought patterns and how they developed is intriguing. The people and institutions are also colorful and provide a great backdrop to put the present into some perspective. The author’s allusions to Rome and Cato are not without some merit but the parallel is weak and the insinuations stretch history to fit preconceived notions of the present.

The article appears in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists: Neocons
