the Neocon delusion

Neocons are about as delusional as Catholics and Jihadists. But the problem is that they have alot more power.

Johann has noted some of the interesting beliefs and opinions of neocons he encountered on a cruise with some of the readers of the National Review- the neocon's version of New Statesman. These include:

• that the UN headquarters in New York should be suicide bombed
• the invasion of Iraq has been an amazing success ("we're doing an excellent job killing them", "there were WMD, and they were shipped to Syria")
• climate change is not happening
• Europe (all of it) will shortly become a new caliphate,
  
• nobody was tortured in Abu Ghraib or Guantánamo
• Pinochet is a hero, he saved Chile
