blog.nj.com — That's why the neocons have hitched their wagon to the two most pro-war candidates running for president and who are leading the pack--for now, Rudy and Hillary. The political elites are covering their bets just in case Bush gets cold feet and doesn't attack Iran by Jan. 20, 2009. The neocons think they will be able to count on Rudy or Hillary.

About Yugoslavia? Basically we only ever heard half the debate for going in as peacekeepers. We would never hear about Croats who murdered Serb civilians, or Bosnian Muslims who commited genocide. The Serbs were painted as the big bad villians, the Bosnians and Croats always the victim. Im not saying that the Serbs werent the biggest commiters of genocide, or that all claims made by the new Serb nationlist movement is true, but certainly our continued denial and classification of the Serbs as the bad guys has lead to the rise of Serb Nationlism, which will ulitmately see them align with Russia, probably adopting its form of democracy along the way; that is, a dictatorship.Anyway, if Clinton had told the complete truth about the events, that basically everyone was trying to exterminate everyone else, he probably wouldnt have been able to convince congress or whatever to send peacekeeping forces. So really if a lie is told to save lives, isnt that a white lie and therefore acceptable?

I'm a neo-con and I don't much like either candidate. A good neo-con has to have a grip on global politics such that he can discriminate between where American power can help, and where it will fail of necessity.Iraq being a failed state before our intervention, the chances for success in giving the country democracy were actually high: note how happy the Iraqis are about voting. The complaints coming from Iraqis about the gov't there are because they can't wait to vote in people who are less corrupt. They're not taking arms up against their own government: it's al-Qaeda and the remnants of Saddam's forces who have been the problem much of the time.I don't think either candidate can see that there are states that look like Iraq but can't be considered places where interventions will work. I also don't think either one is able to assess which nations have resources vital to the world economy that must be protected if there is to be more peace than war the world over. The oil from Iraq is sold to countries like India and China: the fear is that countries that might be stable and not warlike because of the prosperity might collapse into something a lot less stable if denied resources.
