America’s neocons insist that their only mistake was falling for some false intelligence about Iraq’s WMD and that they shouldn’t be stripped of their powerful positions of influence for just one little boo-boo. That’s the point of viewtaken by Washington Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt as he whines about the unfairness of applying “a single-interest litmus test,” i.e., the Iraq War debacle, to judge him and his fellow war boosters.
After noting that many other important people were on the same pro-war bandwagon with him, Hiatt criticizes President Barack Obama for citing the Iraq War as an argument not to listen to many of the same neocons who now are trying to sabotage the Iran nuclear agreement. Hiatt thinks it’s the height of unfairness for Obama or anyone else to suggest that people who want to kill the Iran deal — and thus keep alive the option to bomb-bomb-bomb Iran — “are lusting for another war.”…After reading this, you are likely going to stop reading the Washington Post. I did long ago. It is a propaganda rag.

US neoconservatism needs to aimed at protecting the dollar and euro so as to ensure countries net export to the US and spread the gains widely. That way it gets popular support.
The US needs to ally with China to spread the dollar zone in return for splitting the gains to an extent.
The true face of the champaign socialist..
