To Neo Con or Not To Neo Con

I took this quiz at the Christian Science Monitor to see if I was a NeoCon.

Turns out I am not. Instead, according to the Christian Science Monitor at least, I am a:

Realist

Realists…

• Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision


• Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa


• Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations


• Believe strong alliances are important to US interests


• Weigh the political costs of foreign action


• Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest

Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell

Thanks to the Mud and Blood and the Beer's for the link. Incidentaly, they are realists too!
