Neo-Con Philosophy

September 11, 2016

I read these somewhere but didn't write down the reference

Assumptions of Neo-Cons

1.  A strong country like the U.S. can bully weaker states into compliance with U.S. policy.

2. Force is superior to diplomacy

3.  Democratic ideals are hard wired into the human brain.  These ideals will flow into the anarchy created when a government is overthrown by U.S. military might.

4. Knowledge of local politics, society and culture is not important before using military force.
