(24.August) It’s not clear as to which successor generation of neoconservatives I am thinking about, but it is obvious they are not the same as yours. My first awareness of the neocons was the so called Blue Team whose raison d’etre was to promote the idea that China was the next evil empire after the collapse of USSR. During the Clinton years, the Blue Team members were largely lost among the lunatic fringe, frustrated in not being heard and quiveringly impotent.
