Ah, the neo-con dream to bring order and Christian conduct to the eastern heathens. And secure their resources at the same time at the cost only a few thousand lives.

Yes " The Iraq War is a study on how a superpower defied the opposition of the United Nations Security Council and failed miserably. It was a war of defiance where a new breed of politicians, such as Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld, under the idealistic ideology known as neoconservatism, advocated for the proactive use of America’s military might to pursue what they believe to be America’s national interests. These neoconservatives believe in the promotion of democracy through the force, if necessary. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the moment the United States (U.S.) had reached the apex of its unipolar reign was also the moment that it reaped the collective hatred of much of the world." It never ceases to amaze how the conservative republican mind can re-write history to suit their agenda. To stroke a bottomless ego. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now there is a word I haven't heard in years. It makes me nostalgic for a dumb idealogy that isn't as stupid as the QAnon believers or the Trump worshipers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
