15. i'd say America to is just a pawn in the neocon's game |

Would expansion of the American empire, following the neocon plans, actually benefit Americans? Some, yes. The wealthy ones; neocons and their supporters. I don't think it's realistic to expect them to share with people once they have accumulated all wealth there is to be accumulated. Neoconism is about expanding *their* empire, which goes right across the borders of nations, across political and monetary borders, and across generations.
If Bush is the naked emperor, then the neocons are the foreign advisor who cons the emperor into thinking the advisor is going to give him a nice set of new clothes. (of course contemporary reality is somewhat more complicated then that; it's a metaphore. an old one at that; this isn't the first time something like this happens)
