(65,616 posts)It was a political movement in the 1960s that did come from the anti-Stalinist left. However it turned out some of the worst politicians this country has ever had - Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Paul Bremer...see a pattern emerging here? Im sure plenty of people remember those criminal assholes - all neocons and part of the neoconservative movement. Their policies have destroyed much of this country over the past decades. PNAC is a neocon idea that's intentions were rotten from the start. Because of PNAC, we are at constant war.
