Consequences

Neo Cons

The US neo conservatives failure to understand that America cannot ride roughshod over other countries, without some form of co-operation from others, has destroyed America's ability influence others and wrecked the economy (at the very time that they need all the money they can get to ride out the recession).

The neo conservatives insistence on following their rigid "quasi religious" dogma and pursuing assertive foreign policy interventions in other countries, over the period of the Bush presidency, has done more damage to the reputation, influence and economy of the United States than any third party, terrorist or hostile government could ever have done.
