Bradley Thompson and Yaron Brook's <i>Neoconservatism</i>. Their book shows the role of Ledeen (and many others) in the neoconservative movement, a movement whose philosophical roots go back to Plato and whose historical roots grew from fascism in pre-Hitler Germany.<br /><br />Here is my review of the book: <a href="http://www.theobjectivestandard.com/issues/2010-fall/neoconservatism-thompson-brook.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.theobjectivestandard.com/issues/2010-fall/neoconservatism-thompson-brook.asp</a><br /><br />Neoconservatives are advocates of continuing war of sacrifice -- a war in which Americans sacrifice for the sake of others. In this case, the others are advocates of Islamic democracy. By "democracy," I mean a dictatorship by the majority.Burgess Laughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865479709475171678noreply@blogger.com
