Neo-cons are conservatives who tend to focus on America as the world's moral authority -- applying conservative ideologies in the foreign policy sphere. They tend to assume that free markets will lead to democracy, that people naturally want both of those and thus naturally should recognize America as the moral authority -- and that anyone who doesn't want those things is at least undisciplined and often evil. It's not working out so well for them, though you'd hardly know it by the way they talk.
