Nevertheless, the "neo-cons" have combined two different traditions in American thinking with spectacular results, at least in the short term. In the longer run, the new policy may come back to America's disadvantage unless a sounder, more common sense approach prevails. (GODFREY HODGSON, Open Democracy)
