I sympathize with the Neo-cons. I would like to see a democratic Middle East. One thing I think the Neo-cons are miscalcuating is Israel's security. Many of the Neocons think that the hostility towards Israel in the Middle East is the result of a lack of development and democracy in the rest of the middle east. I don't believe that is the case. I think Democratic governments in the Middle East would be more hostile to Isreael than the current governments. I don't think the current dictatorships care that much about Israel, they just use anti-Israeli rhetoric to maintain some semblence of public support.
The new democratic Iraqi government (if it survives) is going to be extremely hostile to Israel. It is very hard to find any Iraqi's that even think Israel has a right to exist.
