Okay, let's talk about the messenger - I mean the writer of not only the
article posted but also the MEMRI article. This person has seemingly
created a lucrative and publishable cottage industry for himself bashing
neocons. Not that there's not plenty available to bash there, but ideas
should not be accepted or dismissed depending upon the source's
purported membership, or lack of it, in a lauded or despised group.
