Neocons if anything overestimated the need for military action and underestimated the power of the democratic seed that they were so firmly to plant on the lands of the Middle East through the gateway of Iraq.
Project For A New American Century was the most optimistic document the United States and the World had seen since Reagans call to bring down the 'Evil Empire' of Communism.
Yet looking back the PNAIC document seems somewhat laboured and pessimistic in the light of the successful Neoconain venture into the heart of Saddams Regime. A military intervention to remove Saddam, free the people, begin the freeing of the Region, obtain security for the US and her allies around the world and bring Liberty to Iraqis.
The Neoconians have transformed the future of the Middle East and the World by commencing a cycle which will not only make Iraq, but other countries which formerly posed a threat, into free nations who trade, exchange culture and work on national and international problems together.
The issue of weapons of mass destruction, important as it appeared at the time in the light of faulty intelligence, was of little issue or to be frank interest to the Neocon view. Naturally however, it was a serious consideration for leaders who had to protect their populations.
Making the world and the US safe at the same time was the main focuss of the project. Assuring free markets and the supply of oil were no doubt other external issues, even used as part of the thesis, but for the more idealistic Neocons the issue of oil was a flawed argument.
Some lesser committed souls argued that if we want to ensure and obtain a supply of cheap oil, then why not just keep Saddam in power in return for oil and suppressing terrorism? But that was the sort of old thinking blown away by a US President reacting and restructuring after the events of 9/11
Today reports are coming in from around the Arab and Persian world; from Egypt to Syria, that graffitti is appearing on walls calling for elections. Terrorsm is being defeated in Iraq, and most countries around the Region except for Iran, Syria and Lebanon, are learning to fight it.
It is not the US, Britain and the allies that will have to fight beyond the borders of Iraq; the gentle spirit of democracy is blowing across the Region, carrying the news that no missile could carry; a message of peace, hope and security. A message that will even bring down the Iranian Regime.
The infection of democracy; a social and political equation like Einsteins E=MC2, is beginning a chain-reaction as powerful as that of any atomic bomb.
Democracy is a bomb that explodes myths, blows away tyranny, subjection, opression and slavery and is generating the light of a brighter, freer future for the peoples of the Region.
They may have been the bunch of old former 60s hippies who dreamed of peace and freedom for the whole world, and the synopsis and detailed theory they set out may have been scattered to the winds of events and change, but the basic principle the Neocons espoused; 'sow the seed of freedom', is destined soon to change the world.
In Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan the core Neoconian message is proving entirely right; Enable people to gain Liberty and freedom, the right to determine their own future, to elect their own leaders, and all else will flow, friendship, peace, prosperity, partnership, cultural development and yes, even oil. Well I hope so. This region has suffered enough.
