Who Are the Key Neocons? Following are some of the key neocons (who also happened to be some of the key ringleaders of the Iraq War). Most or all of them are Jewish ethnic nationalists, an assertion that can be quickly verified with Google (for instance, try Googling [Richard Perle Israel] or [Douglas Feith Israel] or [Michael Ledeen Israel]). One doesn't need to be Jewish to be a Jewish ethnic nationalist -- some of the most militant, the most deranged, Jewish ethnic nationalists are Christian Zionists, like John Hagee and Pat Robertson.
Would Michael Pugliese or tigerbengalis care to comment? Most Americans, including most Jews, are decidedly not ethnic nationalists, not to mention messianic or militant ethnic nationalists. They are AMERICANS -- they rarely think about their ethnicity, and they never get in the face of their fellow Americans about their ethnic issues -- doing so is not only bad manners, but behavior guaranteed to generate universal hostility in the long term; it is self-defeating and self-destructive behavior. One would have to be autistic not to understand this, and one sometimes wonders whether many of the neocons are suffering from Asperger's Syndrome.
