Neocons' anger in foreign policy

This “old” review of the book "An end to evil" (February 8, 2004), might be an interesting insight into neocons’ foreign policies and strategies, for those of us who will report on the topic in Paris.
Besides the book review, and the comments on their "angry style" and "muscular idealism", Zakaria's article underscores the fact that - despite accusing the Clinton administration - neoconservatives during the 1990's were totally silent about Al Qaeda.
The article also shows how critic and confrontational is the neocons attitude, not only towards Europe, but in general toward a "world that is full of hypocrites and scofflaws". Finally, it says that "with all its strengths, neoconservatism is ultimately not a serious guide to foreign policy".

"Showing them who's boss", The New York Times Book Review, by Fareed Zakaria.
