A dúvida neoconservadora

The Neocon Conundrum, por Steven Taylor:

The situation in Egypt creates quite a problem for many neoconservatives and it is the following: what impulse should guide their preferences? Should it be a) that the protests over throw the dictator in the hopes that democracy takes hold to vindicate the vision of George W. Bush (a position that is already percolating in the commentariat at the moment) or, b) does fear of Islamic extremists mean that democracy is too great a risk, as we cannot know who would prevail in a new, Egyptian democracy?

Facilmente poderia ter citado um dos neocons de serviço do Insurgente...

Não tão cedo farão elogios a Israel por ser 'a única democracia do Médio Oriente'.
