    You mean 2004?



    Like Foreign Affairs?

    Obviously calling into question the age and sources of the articles instead of their content is a well established tactic of obfuscation, but it does highlight an interesting issue. It was in fact the NeoCons who believed most strongly in the ability of the the Arab peoples to embrace democracy - so I am not sure what bearing that has on the credibility of articles published by supposedly NeoCon influenced organizations that suggest the opposite.
    No you're wrong too since my whole Internet Forums Debate and Discussions career all these what 15, 20 years? i don't know, i have met many, many people, discussed with alot of people and they all universally agree, NeoCons are really an irredeemable group of misfits, that got thoroughly discredited post invasion of iraq. Yes they have good intentions, arguably that of spreading democracy, but with an attitude like the End Justifies the Means, its anything but. Reminder i'm not attacking the source, but the idea, this isn't obfuscation by any means its a legitimate argument. the neocons hardly represent american foreign policy nowadays anyway..

    Now tell me, are the 2 amazon books you linked actually relevant? why aren't you referencing them in your posts?
