i'm sure he's got plenty of ideas. i really haven't studied the neocon influences, but i hear bits and pieces of their strategies. just found out that the neocons originally hoped to completely privatize the iraqi oil industry. theoretically, this would allow increased production in iraq and over time opec would be marginalized. as a result, other arab regimes would eventually crumble.
for a variety of reasons, this plan did not go forward. but it's interesting to see some of the thought processes of these people. seems like change is a pervasive element...not what you expect from a typical "conservative."
