"...Jerusalem----April 2.....The American Jewish Congress today congratulated Paul Wolfowitz on his election as the president of the World Bank.

In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad. In March 2003, he got his wish.

"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too. ..."

SHAZASSS;

Leo Strauss (September 20, 1899 – October 18, 1973), was a German-born Jewish political philosopher who specialized in the study of classical philosophy. He spent most of his career as a Political Science Professor at the University of Chicago, where he taught several generations of devoted students, as well as publishing fifteen books. Since his death, he has come to be regarded as an intellectual source of neoconservatism in the United States.

In 2004 Adam Curtis produced a three-part documentary for the BBC on the threat from organised terrorism called the Power of Nightmares. This television documentary claimed that Strauss' teachings, among others, influenced neo-conservative and thus, United States foreign policy, especially following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Two students of Strauss, Wolfowitz and William Kristol, are cited, and Kristol discusses Strauss's influence in the film.

Answer 1

Neocons are the most happy people in the US for the war in Iraq.They are behind the ignition of the war to secure high level of strategic security to Israel and to punish Iraqi people.They are silence because they want to get rid of the US troops deaths responsibility which exceeds 3034 so far.

Answer 2

Frankly, I don't see your point.

Basically, what you are pointing out is that there is such thing as IDEOLOGY. Some ideology is left wing and some ideology is right wing. Republicans are right wing and thus they would subscribe to ideas being put forth by the right. Vice versa for Democrats.

Big frikken deal.

And I don't see what your point about the Jerusalem Post's award to Wolfowitz is which was given FIVE years ago. The Jerusalem Post is (or rather was) right wing. Them giving Wolfowitz the man of the year award when considering he's a) right wing and b) pro Israel is no big deal. Its certainly alot smarter than Time giving the Man of the Year award to ME (and you too aparently, though you definitely don't deserve it).

Answer 3

American Jews are, by and large, left-leaning, which means they tend to vote Democratic. While a good many American Jews would like to see Israel not destroyed by Muslim fanatics, I don't think the majority support the Bush Administration.

Answer 4

I doubt if American Jews have ever heard the term: "neocon".
It is a term just used by foreigners.
