14. The neocons have nice boyish fantasies...
Edited on Sun Mar-08-09 06:11 AM by CoffeeCat
...that are really bad when implemented in the adult world.

People view the neocons as these evil masterminds. They're not. They're overgrown
neophytes who lack any kind of insight, creativity and strategic-planning skills.

First, they wanted to be little masters of the universe and they thought they would
start by taking over Iraq and then moving on to the rest of the middle East. Oh, it
would be so grand. They would rule the world!

Problem is...they thought taking over the world would be like a game of "army man".

They're dysfunctional children, who never grew up.

Now, they want to put the middle class in chains--so they can play "You're the peasant
and I'm the rich magnate who will exploit you."

Problem is, without a working class--the rich magnate can't get rich. His empire falls
too.

Silly neocons. If they want to rule the world and play exploit-the-peasants--they really
need to come up with some viable plans that don't completely fail.

Growth-stunted idiots.
