Phil --

Wolfowitz and Perle were not "mid-level bureaucrats." Wolfowitz was, until 
recently, the #2 man in the Pentagon, and Perle was (up until he resigned) 
head of the Defense Policy Board -- the chief civilian advisor to the 
Pentagon. You're also leaving out other prominent neocons: Elliot Abrams 
(not Jewish), Robert Zoelick (not Jewish), Francis Fukayama (definitely not 
Jewish), Ellen Bork (not Jewish), Dick Cheney (not Jewish), Rumsfeld (not 
Jewish), Doug Feith (not Jewish), John Bolton (not Jewish), John Poindexter 
(not Jewish), Scooter Libby (not Jewish), and Larry Franklin (not Jewish). 
Of the neocons I can think of, only Wolfowitz and Perle -- and come to think 
of it, maybe Doug Feith? -- are Jewish.

All the identifying characteristics of a neocon except for one have nothing 
to do with Israel. 

Neocons are pro-business and relatively irreligious. They believe that only 
our alliances with Britain, Israel, and Eastern Europe are useful. They 
disdain internationalism, see the European Union as an economic threat 
rather than a potential ally, and believe in the projection of unilateral 
American power. Many were former liberals or leftists. 

I think you can produce a comprehensive list of neocons in government by 
listing the interlocking memberships of these groups: Reagan's 'Team B' ICBM 
group, people indicted under Iran-Contra, people working for the Office of 
Special Plans under Doug Feith, and people involved in the smear campaign 
against Ambassador Wilson except for Karl Rove.

They are largely distinguished by never having produced any policy or 
high-level decision that wasn't disastrous and then getting promoted for it. 


Also, I assume you meant that neocons are from the "right".
