Neo-Conservatism = how to behave like a bull in a China shop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

the "main characteristics of neoconservatism":
  • "a tendency to see the world in binary good/evil terms
  • low tolerance for diplomacy
  • readiness to use military force
  • emphasis on US unilateral action
  • disdain for multilateral organizations
  • focus on the Middle East
  • an us versus them mentality".
Here are mine:

  1. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
  2. How to Behave Like a Bull in a China Shop
  3. How to make 9/11 happen
  4. How to embark on the 21st century equivalent of the Peloponnesian War that ruined Athens
  5. How to bankrupt yourself while making everyone hate you
  6. How to threaten to nuke people at the drop of a hat. Neo-Cons constantly talk about Muslim extremism but amongst their recommendations were that NATO should be prepared to launch a pre-emptive nuclear attack in order to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction (like the ones that weren't found in Iraq). (Even Osama bin Laden himself does not talk of nuking people so casually. All he says is stop supporting Israel, withdraw from "Afraq", butt out of our lives and we'll leave you alone.)
